Winter holidays are a time of greeting, gathering, and gift giving. But not all gifts need to come in a box or be purchased at a store. This year consider the free gift of reading! Your local library and daily newspaper are resources for endless hours of reading genres of literature including mystery, adventure, fantasy, biography, animal stories or current events! This issue of Kid Scoop wraps up reading ideas with a neat bow to inspire children of all ages to develop reading as a daily happy habit! You’ll meet a Rockstar Reader from Georgia who completed 1,000 books before her first day of kindergarten. It didn’t cost a penny because this Rockstar checked out books from her local library for free! Becoming an excellent reader takes books and practice, so wrap up your box of reading today and discover why literacy is a gift that keeps on giving year round.
In this issue young citizens will:
- read about reading!
- calculate sums using multiple digits of newspaper headlines
- act out comic strips for an audience
- search the news for items on a happy scavenger hunt list
- spell appropriate grade level words correctly
- meet a Super Reader from Georgia
- imagine before and after events using a photo in the news
- write creatively about holiday gifts that money can’t buy!
