Summer Reading Wrap-up



I think our summer reading wall was a success this year! We will definitely be doing something similar next year.  The kids were highly motivated to read.  I had originally put up 30 coupons for each child to earn, but Maren and Joshua both used them all and so I put up more, and they used all of those, so I had to put out more still.  I ran out of beach themed cut-outs, and so we had to use snowmen.  It's all I had in the drawer.  The kids thought it was funny.  I didn't do enough reading activities with Christopher, so he didn't get all of his coupons.  Poor neglected middle child.

Anyway, in case you wanted to know what my kids read this summer, I'm including a list of books. Feel free to ignore it.  Before they could choose a coupon off the wall they had to write down the title and number of pages in the book, but I didn't have them write down authors, and I don't feel like looking them all up.  You can always look up the book on amazon.  Maren read some shorter books, and she had to combine several to get her prize.  Joshua read some really long books (for a 6 year old) and so I gave him several coupons for those long books.

  2. That is such a great idea! I may have to do something like this for the kids next summer. They LOVE being read to, but I haven't had the easiest time getting Savannah to read on her own this summer.
