Summer Reading Goal
A wall full of fish
It has been awhile since I updated everyone about our summer reading goals. The girls came up with their summer reading goal of reading 2,000 minutes. Our theme were called “Swim Into Reading”! Every time they read a book they would write the book title and author on a fish than hang it up on the wall. They could choose from a variety of colors of fish or pick a white one to color.
While we were traveling over the summer we kept track of the minutes, but didn’t make them write down all the books so the picture below shows all the books they read at home. They covered a lot of reading and were able to hit their goal early! Way to go GIRLS!!!
We DID IT!
Teaching Our Children: Book Bingo
I got the idea for “Book Bingo” from 2 Love Learning! The girls have been enjoying reading the books and getting BINGO’s! For every Bingo they get they receive a prize. When they fill the entire Bingo card they get a bonus dollar reward.
I started doing this for the girls almost a year ago and it has been a big hit for the kids.
If you are looking for a great way to encourage a kid to read this mixes reading, games, and incentives all in one place. The girls love seeing the cards fill up. We draw smiles on the square after a book has been read. You can find a blank bingo card here.
