Have you created any reading resolutions for the new year? A New Year’s resolution is “a promise to do something differently in the new year” according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. I have set two reading resolutions for myself to help me continue making reading a habit as well as try out different types of books.
Mrs. O’Malley’s 2017 Reading Resolutions:
- Read 25 books this year.
- Read at least one of each of the following types of books:
- graphic novel
- science fiction/fantasy
- mystery/thriller
- humor
- adventure
- realistic fiction
- historical fiction
- biography/memoir
- nonfiction
- sports (fiction or nonfiction)
- start a new fiction series
- read a book recommended by a student
- read a book recommended by a teacher or librarian
- read an award-winning book
If you would like to make a reading resolution for yourself, but need some inspiration try one of the following suggestions:
- Read 4 times a week
- Read 20 minutes each day
- Do not watch the movie until you’ve read the book first
- Try joining a book club (or ask your BFF to read the same book, then discuss)
- Start a book journal to log titles read
- Write a book review
- Or try one of Scholastic’s 100 Reading Resolutions
