Winter Holiday Break Reading Challenge

Websites like Teachers Pay Teachers have great ideas that even parents and families can use to encourage reading.

One thing you could do as a family is to have a reading challenge while the children are home over the winter holiday break.  Below is an example of a reading challenge for elementary age children.

Don’t forget that adults can join in a challenge too!  Set aside a quiet time to read as a family, especially on a cozy, snowy night.  Read with your children or let them see you reading a book while they read their own books.
