1. READING - Check a few books out from the library that interest you. Check with your teammates once teams are finalized and see what they are reading. Enjoy some good books! Try to read at least 1 book a month. You can start reading before your team is finalized. The more people on your team that read a book, the better, so overlap is OK!
2. PRIZES - Start stockpiling some books and other cool things for our prize table. I am looking for good books (used are OK as long as they are in good condition) and other fun things for kids to win on battle day. Everyone will get a prize, but the winners will get extra.
Things your kids can do to help them remember books:
- Make a summary sheet with main characters, plot points (if they want)
- Write sample questions to ask their teammates about the book
There are a ton of fun book report-y projects out there if you are interested - here's one pinboard with a bunch.
Kerri and I were thinking of kids design "badges" for books. Each child can volunteer to do one book. We can scan them in and I can print them out on small labels and kids can decorate bookmarks on Battle day with books they have read. More to come on this later.
