Some ideas include:

Reading:

  • Reading anything you can get your hands on — books, e-books, graphic novels, magazines, comics, newspapers.
  • Reading to another family member.
  • Listening to an audiobook or story. Your local library may have a free digital collection of audiobooks you can download to your phone, tablet, or computer.
  • Create a reading nook.
  • Keeping a list of the things you read, and writing a short summary of each.
  • Creating a spelling list of words based on things found around the home.
  • Watching a movie at home and then summarizing or reviewing it, or if it is based on a book — comparing the two.

Writing:

  • List five intriguing words you learned from the story and define each.
    • List the characters and describe each of them.
    • What would the main character likely do if he/she visited your house? What questions would you ask?
    • Did this book remind you of anything that has happened to you? What happened and how did you act?
    • Choose a character. Rewrite a scene from the story from this character’s point of view.
    • Choose an interesting character from your book. Think about what he/he likes and dislikes. What gift would you like to give to him or her? Design a greeting card to include with the gift that explains why you chose it.
    • Which character in this book would you choose to be your friend? Why?
    • Do you like the way the story ended? Why or why not? Write an alternate ending.
    • Is the title of the book a good one or bad one? Why? Write an alternate title.
