What counts?

Hi everyone! Boy, I've been out and about the last few days and everywhere I turn, I hear about you reading! I guess I had better get started!

I have also had a few questions about what "counts" for pages read. So, I'll try to lay it out here. Please record any book you FINISH on or after May 17, including . . .

  • Audiobooks (books you listen to)--I can help you find out the page count on Amazon.com or any library website when you turn your reading log in.

  • Books you read with a grown-up

  • Books a grown-up reads to you

  • Easy fiction/picture books

  • Guided reading books for school

  • Magazines (count the article pages)

  • Comics

  • Graphic novels (like Bone, Babymouse, etc.)


  • Don't count the pages of books of books you don't finish, even if you've read 50 pages before you stop. Occasionally, it may be okay to read parts of a nonfiction book and just count the sections you read--it depends on the book.

    Be honest. And have fun reading!
