Spark Student Motivation with a FREEBIE!


This year I am at a school that does not have AR.  I have always used AR and wasn't sure what I wanted to use this year to motivate students to read.  I found out that several of the teachers at my school completed the 40 Book Challenge last year and I am hoping to get all teachers on board this year.

As Instructional Coach I hope to encourage and support my teachers with motivating their students to READ! :)  To help address this I created my newest FOREVER FREEBIE!


The 40 Book Challenge Freebie Pack includes a Reading Log for students to complete as they read selected genres.  Students are to write the title of the books read in each of the boxes.  I have included a Reading Log in cursive in color and BW along with one in Print for the primary grades also in color and BW.  To motivate students I created bracelets for them to wear when they have read 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 books. 


I plan to suggest to my teachers to require students to keep their Reading Log in their Reading folder/notebook or Independent Reading Book Bin.  I created the bands in BW so you could save on color ink by printing them on different colored paper.


I would love to hear how you use or used the 40 Book Challenge in your classroom!

  2. I am so going to use this with my kiddos this year - and I just have to share what we use!
    http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/The-Tower-of-Books-Challenge-An-Independent-Reading-Challenge-684824 it's a fabulous tower of books challenge that really got my kids motivated! The tower has a list of books that students can read, like primary authors, folktales, nonfiction… or you can just have your kids choose their own books. I was so happy I found this last year, and now I'm going to add your bracelets to it :-)

  3. Love this! What do you do for lower grade students who read picture books? 40 books doesn't seem enough books over the year.
