Sylvan Book Adventure

SCROLL DOWN FOR THURSDAY'S HOMEWORK...THIS IS ANOTHER POST 

I was thinking about how well our first graders have done on Accelerated Reader this year.  When I look at the lists of books each student has read and the scores they have received I am thrilled!  They are amazing! These thoughts reminded me of a similar program that you can do at home.  In order to keep interest up this summer, check out Book Adventure.  It's a FREE reading program that is similar to Accelerated Reader.  It's been a while since I used it (yes, I used it with my own kids and it was a great motivator), but I remember it was very easy.  They have lists of books that have quizzes.  Kids read the books and take the quizzes.  You set the goals and reward your child as they meet the goals you have set up with them.  You can set up all of your children since the books address a wide level of skill (Dr. Seuss, Magic Tree House, Captain Underpants, Junie B. Jones, Little Critter, Ricky Ricotta, Horrible Harry - to name some of our favorite series/characters).  For those of you that have older children, there is a quiz for The Hunger Games and many of the "Wimpy Kids" books.  The vast number of titles will entice all students, especially since there are more titles here than what we have available at school for Accelerated Reader.   There are also contests that you can enter.  It's definitely worth checking out.  

COMMENT BOX:  Let me know if you register your child so I can help keep them motivated during the summer.  :)

Donovan,
You must get your family to sign you up. They must register so you can have your passwords and monitor your progress. This is not done through school. Have them follow the directions on the right side of the screen (where the login box is) so you can participate. :)
