Reading

Isabella loves reading, and her favourite place in town is the public library. Every Thursday after school, she visits the library to choose new books and finish her homework in the quiet study room. Last week, the librarian told Isabella about a reading challenge for children: if you read ten books in two months, you get a certificate and a free book of your choice. Isabella was excited and decided to join the challenge immediately. She made a list of books she wanted to read, mostly adventure stories and books about animals. Her mother helps her keep track of her progress on a chart at home. Isabella has already finished three books and hopes to complete the challenge before the summer holidays begin.
