Hooked on Books
Hooked on Books
Are you hooked on books? If books were fish, how many fish would you be able to catch in a year? Our Parallel staff would like to help YOU get hooked on books this year. If you're already a "bookworm" you'll be rewarded for something you already enjoy.
Discuss a good reading goal. We suggest 100, 125, or 150 days of reading between September 2026 and May 2027.
To join our reading incentive, please fill out the Google Form by clicking the signup button above.
Once you receive your tracking record, write your name and put a check by the number of days you will try to read this year.
Read every day. We suggest reading at least 15 minutes daily if you are enrolled in a school, or at least 30 minutes daily if you are homeschooled. If you are a beginning reader or not yet able to read to yourself, you may have someone else read English books to you.
Mark off the days as you read. Please do not fill in more than one fish per day, since the goal is to make reading a regular habit. Record keeping is an important bonus skill that you will develop from this program.
When you have reached your goal, bring in your completed chart to our office, or take a picture of your completed chart and send it to us. The deadline is May 31, 2026. You will receive a ¥500 Baskin-Robbins certificate.
Personal Reading Goals (Grades 6-12)
Personal Reading Goals (Grades 6-12)
Students in middle and high school can set a reading goal that will help them grow as a reader. Please discuss your goal with your parents to be sure it will push you but not overwhelm you. Possible goals: Read a set number of books from a topic of interest; read books from 4 different genres; read a book a month, read a set number of classics. If you wish, you could send in a summary or reflection of your reading. Send your proposal to Mrs. May at dmay@caj.ac.jp When you reach your goal, you will receive a ¥500 Baskin-Robbins certificate.
