It doesn't appear that this name is on the Readerboard list. In order to keep our records straight and to be sure that posts are credited to the right person, all SRC participants need to sign up for a readerboard name in the Readerboard Names thread. Please post in that thread so that you can be added to the Readerboard, then repost your task after that is done.

LOL! I am severely math impaired - I would be lost without my spreadsheet to do the adding for me!

All tasks must be posted in numerical order, lowest to highest. This is necessary to try to streamline the record keeping procedures (our spreadsheets go left to right, lowest to highest). See the first post in the completed tasks thread and the Posting Requirements.

I assume you are meaning to post for task 30.7, not 20.7! That's how I have entered it, no need to repost unless I'm missing something here.

I notice that my Readerboard score is listed as 30. I believe it should be 70. On December 7th in Post 103 I recorded having completed Tasks 5.1, 10.6, and 25.5. There's no message in this thread about there being a problem with the posting. Could you please check on it for me? Thanks!

Early elementary school books are not accepted for SRC points. Littles And Their Amazing New Friend appears to be directed to 2d-3d graders and cannot be used to claim SRC points.

Oh, no! So sorry, Sandy! I was aware of this rule, but probably so focused on getting it right that something had to go wrong....

It's not mostly pictures. Do the Magic Tree House books work? Just curious. This one is similar in length and vocab.
Thanks

no, magic tree house books do not work either. The intended audience should be over 9.

Please repost with the links. They appear to be working fine now, and the task of checking books to moderate this challenge is unworkable without links to quickly move between the completed task postings and the links.

Task 20.4, option 2, requires that the title have 3 words, with one syllable each. P.S. I Love You has 4 words, since the "PS" counts as a word.

something weird is going on - my spreadsheet shows you with the right # of points, but for some reason it didn't get into the list. I'll figure out what's wrong with the spreadsheet and get it fixed - but, rest assured, I do have your points there, as well as the 15 points you posted later.

I seem to be missing a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author ticket on the Readerboard thru #400. It shows 1, but I show 2.

Hi, Sue. The 1 GRA ticket shown on the Readerboard was for Bette Lee Crosby (post 248). In post #92, you never mentioned that Stephen G. Mitchell is a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author you just listed him as ***Stephen G. Mitchell. The asterisks don't mean anything to me.... ;-)
I've gone back and added him to your totals so it should be correct in the next update.

If you have questions about your points on the Readerboard:
1. Make sure that the Readerboard has been updated through the post that you are concerned about.
2. Please check your math.
3. Check to see if one of your posts is listed in this thread with a question. If so, please make a NEW POST in the Completed tasks thread to clear up the question. DO NOT go back and edit the original post. I will not go backwards in the completed task thread to pick up points.
4. To avoid further questions/problems, please refer to the TASK DESCRIPTIONS and the POSTING REQUIREMENTS.
Thank you for helping keep the record keeping for the challenge as manageable as possible.
