In May kids are greeted by the sweet promise of summer. Hopefully, that means long days spent playing (and with any luck, reading) in the sunshine. Why not build their stamina for reading and help them develop strong reading habits with May's reading challenge? With 20 prompts focused on helping kids choose books for a variety of reasons, this month's reading challenge will help kids rediscover old favorites, uncover a new series, and learn how to read books no matter where they are. Each monthly reading challenge comes with a challenge board, goal setting prompts, reading log, and opportunities to reflect on the reading challenge. The booklet format of this teacher tool makes it easy for students to track the books they read every week.
Here are a few of the fun reading prompts included on May's challenge board:
-
Read a book that is the first in a series
-
Read a book that your mom liked when she was little
-
Read a book while sitting in the sunshine
-
Read a book that's a biography
-
Read a book to someone special
