If you assign summer reading, or create reading lists (or even if you don't), consider adding The New York Times as an option. And if you're teaching summer school, or trying to engage your own summer-vacationing children, this challenge can work for you, too.
Many experts believe both that students don't read enough nonfiction and that letting kids make their own reading choices builds a genuine love of learning. So, if students are regularly reading the articles of their choice in The Times, you can check off two literacy goals at once.
So from now until the end of August, The Times invites you to visit weekly to share the articles, columns, blog posts, photos, graphics, videos and podcasts you've found interesting, and tell why you chose them. The program is for ages 13 to 25. Learn more about the Student Challenge in The New York Times
