We are joining in with our homeschool co-op group this summer to do a summer reading challenge. We are motivating our kids to read like crazy this summer by offering a party with all of their friends at the end! The kids are excited & I love that they want to READ! The group wanted a little reading log for their kids so I made little something for them. I figured you guys might like it as well!
This reading challenge can be used however you need it. If you have kids that are great readers, let them try to do the whole thing on their own. If you have slower readers, do it as a family. If you have little non-readers, you can easily do it with picture books. Decide on a reward that really motivates your family. Maybe a trip to a water park or the zoo, a party with your neighborhood or homeschool friends, make it exciting for the kids.
Do you have girly-girls like I do? I had to do a pink & purple version or my daughter would not be motivated at all! 😉
