Join me in the 2015 Reading Challenge!
Hi everyone!
Just a quick invitation to join me in the 2015 Reading Challenge! I decided to tackle this 50-line challenge at the beginning of the year, and each book I finish gets a mini-review posted on my Facebook page. “Like” me on Facebook to follow along as I dive headfirst into this ambitious attempt to read one book per week all year long!
If you want to join me, here are the rules:
- The 50 line items are detailed in the image below. You may choose to read one book per line item, or double up and check off as many items as apply to each book you read. I’m going for the super challenge of only assigning one line item per book.
- Either way, the goal is to have checked every item off the list by the end of 2015.
- EXTRA CHALLENGE BONUS RULE! I’m adding the bonus rule that each book must be one I haven’t yet read. I tend to do a lot of re-reading books as preparation for working with my students, but I was unsatisfied with the amount of new material I was reading. Completely optional, but bonus points if you do!
Here’s the list of items – get to reading!
New Subjects Added!
Just a quick update: I’ve completed several more certification tests through WyzAnt and added new subjects to my list. New subjects include Pre-Calculus, ACT prep (Math, English, and Reading) and GRE prep (Math, Reading, and Essay Assistance). If you or someone you know is in need of tutoring in any of these subjects, look no further!

Extra Exposure on WyzAnt!
We interrupt your regularly-scheduled weekly posting for a special update!
A few weeks ago I was asked by the WyzAnt team to write a pair of articles offering an overview of the SAT Writing section and the SAT Essay. Those articles have just gone live on WyzAnt’s “Lessons” page! You can check them out at the links below:
SAT Writing Overview
SAT Essay In-Depth
The articles have a byline linking to my profile page on the site, so it’s great exposure for drawing new students to me. If you’re here, you don’t really need to use WyzAnt – you can just contact me directly at the email in the sidebar. But it’s still a great chance for you to experience a taste of my teaching style, so enjoy!
