Summer Reading Challenge printable checklist (English & Spanish!)

When we were kids, our mom had a summer reading challenge for us each year: read 100 books.  They could be whatever kind of book we wanted –  picture books, comic books, chapter books – you name it.  We kept a running list.  I pulled out my favorites (Little Women was a favorite summer read) and was sure to find the newest chapter book in my favorite series (confession: I read every Babysitter’s Club and Sweet Valley High book).

My oldest two kids are fluent readers.  They’re just finishing second grade and kindergarten.  Getting them to read isn’t hard, but I thought it would be fun to give them a fun summer challenge.

Read 100 books … with a twist.

I love the summer reading lists and summer reading program ideas in this post!

My kids will be challenged to read all over the house, in many locations outdoors, when we are doing errands or on vacation, and to many different people.  Here is the checklist:I love the summer reading lists and summer reading program ideas in this post!

I love the summer reading lists and summer reading program ideas in this post!

So – what do you think? Will your kids go for it?  If you’re a teacher you might want to send this home with students for the summer.  The printable includes a Spanish version, too!

What summer reading challenge do you have in store for your kids?

P.S. We absolutely love and recommend the LeVar Burton Kids Skybrary app, which you can use on mobile, tablet, or desktop. My kids adore the read alouds and educational videos. It’s great for summer or any time of year!

    Hello, this list is great. I’m going to start this challange with my pupils, they are around 10 years old and I’m trying to get them reading. I changed it little bit and translate it into my language. They won’t definetly read 100 book, but we decided that they will read at least two pages on each spot, so they can make a tick. They were really excited, when they heard about this challange 🙂 And I’m excited too, I ‘m curious about how much they can accomplish.
    Thanks 🙂

    Hi Kaila! We have a library reading program too, but it’s notorious for being not very good. The prizes are either choking hazards or something that my kids are young enough to get into free anyway (meaning it’s really for older kids). I’ve heard of some pretty phenomenal programs at other libraries, though!

    Oh my…I totally snuck and read every Sweet Valley High book as well. My parents didn’t want me reading them, but I found a way. Anyway, I love the idea of reading in all those different places. I think that would make a fun game for the summer. Thanks so much for linking up at the Real Family Fun link party! Hope to see you next week.
