Become a Reading Superhero
by Christine
It’s easy to be a reading superhero, and you don’t have to fly, time travel, or become invisible to do it. Instead gather your family or class together for an afternoon of these fun reading ideas.
Ask your students to dress up as a favorite superhero or everyday hero and then have them act out the ideas behind their favorite stories.
Have children practice drawing their own comic book characters and then, write the story behind the pictures.
Host a reading blitz by providing some great comic books or, even better, read Superhero School by Aaron Reynolds. For pre-readers, go to the PBS Super Why website for fun reading activities. Older readers will enjoy free reading worksheets from Reading Horizons.
ModernMom, Shelley Frost, has some other ideas to create fun family reading memories like pajama and tent parties.
We know that you work hard to make certain that your children have all the reading help they need. So you see, you are a reading superhero… the cape, of course, is optional.
