Create your own READ poster
Download the template file and add your favorite photo of yourself, your friends, or even your pet; you can move around the text balloons and add extra confetti to make your poster extra festive. For the best results, start by taking a photo against a solid-colored backdrop with plenty of contrast to make it easy to erase the background. For more tips, click here!
Reading Bingo
Read 5 different books according to the card below to complete a diagonal, vertical, or horizontal line. A free choice square means that you can read any book you want. List each book you read for each square and rate it on a scale of 1 to 5 (1=didn't like, 5=loved).
Read Anywhere!
Read somewhere creative! Cut up a watermelon and spend summer nights reading on the lawn. the trampoline, or a blanket fort. The playhouse in your backyard is another fun place to read. You could also read by flashlight or firelight!
