Evergreen Summer Reading Challenge

by Pastor Victor Chen

Summer is upon us and as parents are searching for activities to keep their children busy, I would like to offer one —The Evergreen Summer Reading Challenge.

What does it entail?

I will recommend a book for your child to read during the summer. These will be fictional novels written with a Judeo-Christian worldview for reading levels 3rd grade and up. (For lower reading levels, I can recommend books to be read to your child).

Upon completion of the book by the end of summer (before the start of school) and a written submission indicating what your child liked about the book, your child will receive a prize —a recommended Christian book from me!

Why fiction?

Fictional stories spark the imagination and creativity of a child. A fictional novel teaches a child how to sit, focus and track with an entire book.

How does it work?

Email me at vchen@evergreensgv.org to receive the name of the book assigned to your child. Please indicate the reading level of your child.

Can adults participate?

Of course! Reading has become a lost discipline. What better opportunity than now to grow in this discipline by reading through a good novel.
