getting+kids+ready+for+summer+reading

Here are some of the ideas I have for getting kids ready for summer reading. 1. Setting up summer reading kits which might include; just right books, colorful post its and pencils, logs, summer reading partner's email address/phone number, summer reading schedule, lists of books they want to read, and a calendar. 2. Set up summer reading partnerships 3. Start to sell books, introduce books in class that kids would enjoy over the summer. Some lessons might be around, reflecting on yourself as a reader this year (how have you grown & what have you learned?), when & where will you read, how are you are going to get more books when you are out, how you will be in contact with your partner, why it is important to read over the summer, setting up kits, finding books, and building excitement around summer reading. That's all I have right now. -Tara
