2020 Summer Reading Challenge
Summer has arrived! With the pandemic still affecting the majority of people around the world, summer adventures look very different this year. Like any sport or skill, reading is something that kids need to practice to be able to keep (or increase) their stamina.
Below I have created the Biracial Bookworms 2020 Summer Reading Challenge that includes a printable bingo card for kids to cross out as they go. These prompts will have kids expanding their global citizenship and growing in empathy as they read the world.
I linked the prompts to book recommendations on Biracial Bookworms in case you need them, but kids can choose any book they are interested in reading.
