Summer Writing and Reading Challenge!

Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Before sending off your students for summer, why not give them a Writing and Reading Challenge that will keep their skills fresh throughout the summer but still give them an opportunity to enjoy their break!  The first part of my reading and writing challenge gives the students a bingo like board that offers a variety of reading and writing opportunities that the students can complete over the summer. There is also a minutes log where students can log the minutes they spent reading. 
If they do complete the tasks, they have the opportunity to receive the special certificate at the end of the summer!  
Also, I like to give the students a Word Watch activity that challenges students to find a new vocabulary word every day of the summer.

 These challenges only require 4-5 pieces of paper to send home with the students(less if double sided), and are sure to keep them occupied throughout the summer! Click on any of the images to be taken to this unit!

  1. I've enjoyed reading your blog for quite a while. Ended up sharing it with my sister who is a Colorado teacher. She says she's loved it and used some of your ideas in her classroom.
