Scholastic always offers some great resources to parents and educators to encourage kids to read or to enhance their reading experience. I have posted about a few of these in the past. I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about their 8th Summer Reading Challenge.
The Challenge runs from May 5th to September 5th and they are hoping to set a world record with minutes read. There are 3 ways you can participate:
- Kids – they can log in (with a parent’s help) and log the number of minutes they read this summer. They can answer challenge questions to earn virtual rewards. And as greater encouragement – every time they reach a weekly milestone they can enter a giveaway to win some awesome books. Their reading minutes can also count toward their school’s reading total.
- Educators (with a Scholastic account) – you can register your students and track their reading progress; discover free resources and book lists; and have a chance to win 50 books for you classroom or school library.
- Parents: you can help your children read with various resources and a reading time app. There are also free book lists, activities, and out tips.
Here are some of the tools that you might find useful with your young reader:
- Read, Relate, Respond – sheet for kids to record their reading feelings
