CAN STUDENTS READ ANY BOOKS THEY WANT?

Yes! The Summer Reading Bingo Challenge squares focus on reading tasks or environments rather than specific book titles. That means students can read whatever books they have access to, at any reading level.

The squares are all activities that virtually all students can participate in during the summer, no matter where they are during the summer.

All squares are editable, so if you feel your student population may struggle with a particular task, you can easily change it to something they are able to do.

Some examples of the Summer Reading Bingo squares:

Read with a friend
Read in a box, laundry basket, or closet
Listen to an author read-aloud online
Have a reading picnic
Read while stretching your muscles

ABOUT THE CURATED READING LISTS:

As the school year winds down, parents frequently request “summer reading lists” from the school, librarian, or teachers. These six lists are completely done for you – Just hit print! I’ve included one list per grade level, Grades K-6.

You can rest assured that the recommended titles:

were selected by an experienced, fully-certified school librarian
received multiple, positive professional reviews
are age-appropriate for the grade levels recommended
are up-to-date (though keep in mind that books can go out-of-print without notice)

HIGH-QUALITY RESOURCES ARE A SOURCE OF PRIDE!

I take great pride in creating library resources that are of the highest quality. I also update my resources regularly to ensure currency and best practices for 21st Century libraries and classrooms.
