Younger students can join in the Summer Reading fun with this FREE printable Summer Reading Pack.
This set includes a READ to 100 chart for students to color in each time they read a book. This is a super fun visual way to track progress over the Summer.
Four colorful bookmarks encourage children to READ and mark their place while reading. Finally, we’ve included a fun Super Reader award you can present to your child when they have read their books.

Recently, I designed a Summer Reading and a Summer Writing Challenge for my younger kiddos, but my older children were feeling a bit left out. So today I whipped up a simple Summer Reading Challenge for Middle School grades. Because their book sizes are so varied, I thought it might be better to issue a page number challenge rather then a book number challenge. So the goal is to read 5,000 pages (of grade appropriate material) over the Summer Break. Many books include grade recommendations on the back, and you can show children how to research online to see whether or not the book they chosen is grade appropriate. Children keep track of the book title, author and then umber of pages they have read. Hint: During a 90 day Summer Break, 5,000 pages equals about 55 pages a day…..so it is roughly an hour of reading each day.
I’m going to reward my children with a special treat at our local ice cream shop when they finish their charts!

And before you start to accuse me of creating charts,
just for the sake of laminating them,
I’ll have you know that we take Summer Reading very….
VERY...seriously around here.
Not to mention that for the past two years
I have somehow misplaced my children’s charts…
Last year because we moved,
and the year before that because I had a baby
So Don’t Judge me. ;)
I already got a very STERN look from the librarian when I pleeded with her to take my word that the children did in fact complete their Summer Reading, even writing down all the Titles and Authors…..and that it was my fault completely and would she please let them choose a book to take home. Please….look at their little sad faces, they practically went blind with all the Summer Reading they did.
So as not repeat that this year, I decided I was going to get a bit more organized and actually make a chart that could be hung on the wall. My children’s wall. Making them responsible for keeping track of them. (You see where this is going right)
Ahem.
Anyway, after all that work,
making all those little boxes,
and adding in those adorable graphics
I of course decided that such a chart would last longer
If it was in fact laminated.
See. Win-Win.
Everyones Happy.
Go print your Chart and be Happy too!
