This summer, while resting, playing and generally having a great time, we would like to encourage your child to spend some time reading. to help guide them, we are providing a Summer Reading BINGO board. We hope this will make reading enjoyable, and help the students develop a love for pleasure reading.
We ask that you guide your child to complete at least two BINGOS on the board. Everyone must do the center square. Please initial each square as your child completes it. the BINGO board and the required project should be brought back to school during the first week.
If you did not receive a BINGO board at the end of the school year, they are available in the School Office.
In order to help them, and you, choose books that are appropriate for the grade level, we suggest books written by the authors listed below. they do not have to choose exclusively from this list as long as the book is appropriate for their reading level.
Christoper Paul Curtis Roald Dahl
Kate DiCamillo Avi
Gary Paulson Jennifer L. Holm
Jerry Spinelli Katherine Applegate
Cynthia DeFelice
Sharon Creech
Laura Ingals Wilder
Natalie Babbit
Below you will find a menu of projects that the students may choose from in order to complete the center square on the BINGO board.
1. Write a diary as one of the book's characters. The diary may cover events before, during and after the events in the book. Remember that an important part of a diary is the character's thoughts and feelings. The diary should cover five days.
2. Make a poster advertising the book. Your poster should be persuasive enough that others will want to read the book.
3. Choose birthday gifts for each character in your book. Draw the gifts and explain why you have chosen that gift for that character.
4. Interview a character from the book. Write five questions you would ask the character. then write what you believe their answers would be based on what you learned about them in the book.
5. Make a map of the place where the story's events take place. Label the locations of key events in the book. Your map should be neatly drawn and colored.
When the students complete the projects the written portions should be in ink and cursive. If drawing is involved, color should be used.
