Fun Ways to Practice Reading Skills
This month, we are looking at some fun ways to practice reading skills. This is especially appropriate given that March 3rd is Read Across America Day! (You may know that this day is always on Dr. Seuss's birthday, but since that falls on a Sunday this year, most schools are celebrating on Monday.)
Mrs. Bainbridge's Class Website has a fantastic list of fun reading games! They are categorized by phonemic awareness, alphabetic principles, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.
One of my absolute favorite reading websites, Reading Rockets, has a list of 103 fun things to do before/during/after reading. It includes things like drawing a map of the book's setting and imagining how the story would be different if the main character had been the opposite gender.
If you are looking for activities for Read Across America Day, the National Educator Association's website has a plethora of free resources. (I particularly like the 2014 Resource Calendar.)
