“I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how GREAT the 100 Book Challenge Program is. I have seen a complete change in Joey’s outlook on reading. Up until this program started it was a battle to get him to read anything. We have purchased many books and nothing worked. He now looks forward to reading every night. One night he surprised me when he was so quite in the Family Room. I asked what he was doing. He replied, I want to log an hour on my log tonight. He ended up with an hour and a half. I would like to Thank You, Mrs. Louden and the Charlotte Country School Board for purchasing this fantastic learning tool.” --October 12, 2006

“Since my child has begun participating in 100 Book Challenge, I have noticed he has more of a love for reading now that he recognizes words and sounds. I believe 100 Book Challenge is very beneficial.…He not only enjoys the prizes, it gives him pride when he says, ‘Mommy, I got to x number of books today!’ He now reads daily to his two-year-old brother.”

“All of my attempts to interest [my son] in reading failed. He isn’t a poor student, he just had no real interest in reading. Ever since he began 100 Book Challenge, he has been so excited about reading! He cannot wait to pick out new books and move to the next level. He has completed 112 books as of today. Quite an accomplishment, wouldn’t you agree?”

“My son is a reading machine. Almost all his free time is now reading time. He follows me around the house reading to me. I get home from work at 6 o’clock, Barry is waiting for me at the front door. I hope he will always be my reading machine.”

“Words cannot express how appreciative I am at how 100 Book Challenge has improved my son Shannon’s reading skills. Prior to this program, Shannon had difficulty reading and did not enjoy it that much. Now he has a voracious appetite for books. Every evening he wants to read aloud or to himself. Shannon has read over 400 books! That makes him proud and myself as well.…It cannot be said enough that reading is the key to knowledge. 100 Book Challenge has provided that key to my son.”
