Olympic Games for Young Readers!
Summer reading and writing is daunting but when parents can tie it into the fun things like television and sports it can be fun. As a teacher I used to tie reading into television by making my students watch their favorite sitcom and outline the plot structure. They were amazed that sitcoms followed the same structure as the books we were reading in class.
To adults it is basic, to kids…amazing. But sometimes to get the to read or do homework you have to make it fun.
So, here are a few fun things to brush them up before school starts. Have fun with the Olympics!
