SOL day 22
I found this fun activity (click “activity” to see!) to do with reading while browsing Pinterest. I think it will help the children find the exciting part of reading – it gives them something to look forward to, as well as having them actually reading for a portion of the day. It is important to provide children with opportunities like this for reading, so they do not get bored with the same routine or being forced to read. This type of activity would have helped me with reading because it is more interactive. My main issue with reading was that I would rather be outside running around or playing games. I hope this game helped the students out that had similar situation to mine 🙂
It all comes down to getting the right books in the right hands, but sometimes something new helps.

Neat idea to put some novelty into reading. We’re finding Kindles are inspiring more reading for some of our kids.

This is a favorite activity in my library, too! We use it as a prize for competitions or classroom behavior rewards. The kids love searching the stacks with a flashlight, and then finding a comfy place to read with one.

We have an occasional Flashlight Friday, too. The best part is that we (teachers) don’t pull students, we just sit and read with the kids!

Flashlight fun! Brought back memories of after-dark tag outside. I can picture my niece reading with a flashlight and us building tents to cozy up around the books.

Little tricks can help spark enthusiasm for reading long and strong. In 3rd grade I just introduced highlighters for short story reading!
