Summer Reading Challenge Bookmarks to encourage kids to read during the summer months! Perfect to help your child stay on task and motivate them to get a head start on their summer reading books.

Summer Reading Challenge Bookmarks

Summer Reading Challenge Bookmarks

As a former teacher, I know the importance of reading for young children. That’s why even during the summer months I encourage every parent to make sure they are reading for a minimum of 30 minutes a day.

Encouraging your kids to read is not always the simplest of tasks, which is why I created this summer reading challenge packet for you to print out for free.

It’s a great way for you and your child to keep track of their every day reading minutes. Plus, you can also use it as a reward system for the end of the week.

I hope you enjoy the book challenge as much as my daughters do!

Encouraging Summer Reading Kids

How To Encourage Your Child To Read More

Encouraging your kids to read more books during the summer can be a bit difficult when all they want to do is play video games, go biking, or anything else that doesn’t involve a book.

The great thing is that you can always find ways to encourage your kids to read and I want to share a few ways I do that in my home.

When it comes to reading my oldest daughter can be easily persuaded, in fact, she usually has a book in her hand.

My youngest daughter on the other hand, needs a little bit more encouragement. That’s when these printables come in handy! She loves writing things down.

  • As your child what kind of books they want to read.
  • Search on Pinterest book title ideas according to age or grade level. This will give you lots of choices to help your child decide on a book.
  • Search on google for age-appropriate books according to the genre that you know your child would enjoy reading.
  • Ask them who their favorite character, game, movie, or television show is. Most of the time you can find books in that category.
  • If your child likes electronics considers getting them a Fire Kindle for Kids or a Kindle Reader for tweens and teens.

Tip: My girls have had their Fire Kindle since it first came out and they still use it to read. I love that I can change the parenting settings according to their ages and I can control what they can do on it.

You can even time it to the games and apps only are available once they have read a certain amount of minutes beforehand. Genius, isn’t it?!

How To Get Kids To Read In The Summer

How To Use The Summer Reading Bookmarks

I wanted to quickly go over an easy way to use this free reading printable packet.

Reading Challenge Bookmarks:

  • Print out with card stock paper and laminate.
  • After your child has read for 30 minutes, they are allowed to either punch out the square box or check mark it with a marker.
  • I have created three different bookmarks for ages preschool to high school.

Reading Log:

  • Print out and if you want to re-use one sheet all summer I suggest laminating the sheet.
  • Have your child fill in the book they read, how long they read for, and the pages they read.

Book Summary:

  • The book summary can be used for older elementary through high school.
  • It’s a great way to get your child to start summarizing chapters or even the entire book. If you search google, you can usually find a book summary that can help you help your child if you haven’t read the book.
  • You can also use this for younger kids to write out what their favorite part of the book was—getting them started on story comprehension skills.

I hope this helps you have a more relaxed and a less stressful summer when it comes to encouraging your kids to read!

Picking up a new book is just a new adventure they get to explore! Remind them it’s also a wonderful way to explore an entirely new world!
