A Fun Kids Reading Challenge
This kids reading challenge is going to be so fun for us to do this summer. I love thinking of ways that can get my brand new readers excited about books. (Scroll down for a free printable.)
I made this so I can keep the kids searching for new things to read this summer and turn it into a bit of a competition… can you get through all of these??
Rules!
- Kids get to pick whatever book in that category that they choose.
- If they don’t like the book they can choose another one.
- This doesn’t necessarily need to be done in any time period or order unless you want to. Longer books may take more time.
- The goal is FUN! Try new books and challenge yourself to read more. Parents can play along, too!
