Our nearly 1st grade daughter came home with a great summer reading assignment - Summer Reads Bingo.  I am a fan of children reading everyday - but not  of “having to read for 30 minutes a day.”  I have found that the clock becomes the focal point rather than the book at hand and eventually for some children their innate desire to read disappears. 

So... when I saw this “playful” approach to encouraging summer reading I thought is was so good that I made a few adjustments and whipped up a copy that you could print out and use yourself.
