What is the Spring Break Reading Challenge?

The Spring Break Reading Challenge is a fun way for the Brentwood School Community to connect over the break and share a love of books. It is open to all members of the community at any reading level. We had a great time with it last few summers and are looking forward to doing it again! Whether you read one book or 20 this break, we'd love if you joined in the fun!

How Do I Participate?

There are 5 different book challenges. Each challenge has its own Padlet. To participate, you want to choose books that fit the challenges below. When you finish reading one, click on the link to the Padlet, and post your name and the title of the book. If you would like, you can also give it a rating (1-5 stars) and add a picture of the cover.

• A Book That Makes You Laugh
• A Book That Takes Place Outside California
• A Book With Magic In It
• A Book Recommended by Someone Not in Your House
• A Non-Fiction Book

Here is a printable list if you'd like to keep track that way.
