Summer Reading - CHART IT!

Those of you who know me, or have been to my class, you know how much I love a good spreadsheet!  My brain just works better when there is order.  So, lists... charts... anything to keep this mamma's crazy brain under control just makes me happy.  

I saw this gal's blog post highlighted on Sugardoodle.net today and just KNEW I needed to do this for my kiddies.  This will be a great motivation for my kids and will just be all around FUN to tie in all these reading programs that I just posted about here... here... and here...  

Erin at Chicken Babies, came up with this Ahhhhdorable way to chart all the books her kids read this summer.  I may have to make some adjustments since I have 2 great readers, 1 who is just starting with blending letter, 1 who thinks she can read and has quite a fine imagination when doing so, and 1 who just loves to sit on your lap and enjoy any picture of a doggie or ball.  I'm not sure how I will adapt, but the concept is great and I have plenty of empty wall space in my hallway upstairs.  So much fun!!  So check out her post and let me know what you come up with!

I hope your summer is filled with lots of good stories and memories with your kids!  I am working on updating the Family Fun calendar at the bottom of this blog, so if you know of any good activities (scheduled or not) that I can highlight for you or add to the calendar, please let me know!  

Happy READING!!
