RULES & HOW TO PLAY:
CHALLENGE LEVELS:
✐OPTION #1: Guess it! First, read a book of your choice. The cover will work as a word card. Then, using the spell-it-out rules(*), spell any item from the cover.
Example:
✐OPTION #2: Draw it! Pick a Pictionary Word from the list and read books with that word on the cover.
Example #1: (one word, several books read)
Example #2: (one book read per word)
(*) HOW A "SPELL-IT-OUT" WORKS:
Spell out the word(s) using the first letter in the book's title, the first letter in the author's first or last name, or the first letter of a character's first, last, or nick-name, or the first letter of the series name. As always, if the first letter of a title starts with an indefinite or definite article ('A', 'An', 'The', etc.), you may use the first letter of the second word in the title to spell out your chosen word.
