September is coming and with that it means the kids go back to school, summer is over and we need to start taking out our jackets for Autumn.
If you’ve had a busy summer and you’re ready to get back into your reading habits, but not sure how to get out of the slump; don’t worry. This September reading challenge is the perfect place to start.
Let’s take a look…
What’s a Reading Challenge?
A reading challenge is a great way to get back into a love of reading after hitting a wall or a slump. Sometimes life can get busy, and sometimes we just don’t feel like reading. That’s totally cool, we all get like that sometimes.
If you’re someone who wants to get back into reading, or perhaps you’re just looking for something inspiring to help you figure out what to read next, a reading challenge is the way to go.
A reading challenge is a list of simple, easy to do reading tasks designed to motivate and inspire book lovers. That’s it! It’s not rocket science and it’s not challenging either (well, it’s not meant to be).
Sometimes we take a reading challenge just to feel a sense of accomplishment. But, what’s important when you undertake a reading challenge is that you reward yourself for your hard work.
Reading is meant to be fun, so why not kick it up a notch with a reading challenge?
September Reading Challenge
Below you’ll find our reading challenge for September. We’ve come up with 10 simple reading tasks that you can complete within the month of September.
We know that some book lovers are speedy readers, whereas others take their time. So the purpose of these reading challenges is not to devour as many books as possible, it’s more to get you reading in different ways and even share your love of reading.
You’ll find that each task is something short and easily achievable, you can also decide when you want to do each task, as we know that we don’t have an hour a day to set aside.
You can save this reading challenge as a picture if you’d like to print it off at home.
Make sure you tick off each task after you’ve done them, and set yourself a reward for completing the challenge!
