Adventist Adventurer Awards and Answers/Adventurer's Excellence in Reading Patch

Special Award Patches This challenge project is designed to encourage families to spend quality time reading aloud together; to encourage the child with more advanced reading skills; and to challenger “eager readers” —children who desire to excel in reading and to accomplish an award on their own. Requirements Books may be selected from recommended reading lists published by or listed on the Gateway to Reading list (for Adventist schools), or from the NAD Adventurer/Primary Book Club List. Eager Readers should select books that are at or slightly above their reading level. Books that are selected for families to read aloud together, should be at or slightly above the child’s listening level. (Typically, the listening level is 2–3 years above the child’s reading level.)
