Setting your Summer Reading Club goal!
Your mission in Summer Reading Club is to do 50 days of fun literacy goals! But what is literacy…fun!??!? It’s really up to you! Here are some tips on how to make great goals.
- A goal can be reading by yourself, with a grown up, with friends, or with a pet! It can be an amount (15 pages) or a time (15 minutes). It’s all good!
- All reading is good reading! Giant chapter book? Awesome! Recipe for banana bread? Yum! Audiobooks or podcasts? Yes, please!
- Writing and creating counts too! Have you always wanted to write a comic? That would be a fantastic Summer Reading Club goal. Check out our weekly creative challenges to help get you started.
- Visit your local library! More books=more reading. Plus there might be fun programs and contests happening! And those count as a daily goal.
- Goals can change. It can be writing a script one day and listening to an audiobook another. Mix it up!
- Most importantly, challenge yourself, but not too much. Do things that you have to put a bit of effort into, but don’t pick goals that will take you all day, every day. Summer is for fun!
Excited? Great! Get working towards your goals. Confused? Talk to a grown up or friend about these tips and build some goals together.
