Reading Record Book - Anniversary Report

Exactly this day last year, I started the boys in recording the details of the books they have read. And exactly one year after, they have read an average of 368 books! That is about a book a day.

They started out reading beginner readers like the Berenstain Bear Series. Initially, they could read as much as 7 books a day. But they have since then progressed through from Sonlight K readers to its Year 2 readers now. They are currently going for the Magic Tree House Series by Mary Pope Osborne and the Orchard Classics Shakespeare Stories retold by Andrew Matthews.

I have been careful not to emphasize on the number of books read but rather the enjoyment of each book. It is my guess that they will not be able to hit 368 books the coming year as the chapter books they are reading will obviously take longer to complete.

Here are their TOP 12 Books that they enjoyed most. (I wanted them to give me a top 10 but they insisted they want 12!)
