Information
The All Star Reading Club started in 2008 at West Tualatin View
Elementary School. Students from all grades are invited to read a
book from a different genre each month and fill out the form on the
back of this page. Every month, completed forms will be collected
and a student’s progress will be tracked on a chart.
Students who read books from five different genres will be invited
to a Spring Party and will be able to choose a free book during the
Year End Book Swap. Students who read a book from all eight
genres will receive a special prize at the Spring Party.
This is a terrific way for students to explore all the genres of
literature and, perhaps, enjoy books they never thought they’d be
interested in. Here are the genres for each month:
October – Mystery & Horror
November – Historical Fiction
December – Non-fiction
January – Action & Adventure
February – Biography
March – Fantasy & Science Fiction
April – Poetry
May -- Folklore
BONUS GENRE Any Month - Classic
Forms are due at the end of each month. Make-ups are allowed!
If a student has questions or missed a month and wants to read
from that genre, contact the library.
