Read Aloud Challenge

The read Aloud Challenge is a fun challenge I started doing several years ago when Ari had first started reading to make reading in the new year more fun. The kids read aloud to each other for 10 minutes a day. Each day they do that they get to mark off on a chart with 25 marks. Every 5 marks they get to pick a prize. The kids were begging to do it again this year so we got it set up. So far they’ve earned 3 of their prizes. We’ve had some illness that slowed us down. So far they’ve chosen to pick their own dinner (they chose Black Bear Diner), go to a museum (they chose the MOSAC in Sacramento), and sleep in a fort (they chose to set up a tent and camp in the backyard…in January). So they’re getting good bonding read aloud time and it gives us excuses to do some extra fun things in winter.
