I'm a Summer Reading Star!

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Reading is rewarding on its own, but why not add in some extra incentives? As individuals read, they can fill out the bingo board included here, earn coupons, create bookmarks, and fill out a banner, piece by piece.

Instructional Ideas

  • Send this home with your pupils just before summer to encourage kids to engage in summer reading
  • Pair this with a summer reading list of your choice

Classroom Considerations

Learners should still be encouraged to read even without extrinsic rewards; however, this could be a good starting point for a reluctant reader or a fun activity for an avid reader

Pros

  • Children are rewarded for setting and meeting goals as well as finishing entire books
  • The teacher or parent/guardian monitoring the student's reading can fill in whatever rewards they wish on the colorful coupons included

Cons

  • None
