Fun Reading and Writing Ideas {and After School Link Up}

By thisreadingmama Leave a Comment

Today, I’d like to share a few fun and effective reading and writing ideas from last week’s After School Link Up!

 

TangramsGrandfather Tang’s Story was one of my favorites when teaching in the classroom. See how Jump into a Book used it as a springboard for more ideas.

 

 

reading fluency activityAsk kids to read and record their own reading to build fluency. Fluency is one of those reading skills that takes practice to master and letting kids record and listen to their own reading can be an enjoyable activity. Check out this article from Children’s Books and Learning.
