Inspiring kids to read can be achieved through a month-long challenge during March is Reading Month. For every class reaching the Candy Castle the reward is to participate in a school-wide game day (or 1/2 day.)

One idea is to use a game theme. As a school, a variation of the Candyland game board will be hung around the school walls. This is especially easy since the Candyland game board is made up of colored rectangles. If not a school-wide activity, certainly this could happen as a classroom activity.

Then, weekly bookmarks are handed out to students. Each piece of candy is colored in for every ten minutes of reading. At the end of the week the class minutes are totaled and then the class game piece is moved along the school-wide game board. Or, if in individual classrooms, each child would move his or her game piece.

To spice up the school-wide game board it is especially snazzy if the Candyland game board characters are scanned and enlarged. This can be done by scanning the images and then using a projector to show them on a wall or using a document camera, and then draw around them with black marker. Using pastel chalks is an excellent way to color the pieces. The older children can help with this activity.

A book jog is another way to encourage reading. Kids bring in used books from home that they would like to exchange. For every book that a child brings in, he gets a ticket to exchange Another book. Hole in the library, how to create records, paper color rectangles. After all the book was based on the chain. I'm looking for a guidebook children. Children's books at the end of the road to exchange cards. How to get a ticket for a lot of books, children can provide. When you run for the glory of the book all the "sports clothes must download jogging."

Forgame, theme days can correspond to the various characters such as:

Wear Red for Dr. Seuss’ Birthday and play the games on the Dr. Suess website

Wear a funny hat in honor of Lord Licorice

Wear Green in honor of St. Patrick’s Day and Mama Ginger Tree

Dress as your favorite fairy tale character in honor of Princess Frostine & King Kandy

Nutty Hair Day in honor of Gramma Nutt (a favorite of all kids is to come to school with crazy hair!)

Inspire kids to read by Your school or classroom, this year's issue will provide.
