Freebie: Summer Reading BINGO!
Happy (almost) SUMMER!
I've seen lots of Summer Reading Bingo charts (and loved them!), so I combined my favorite ideas into one grid.
Click here to download your Summer Reading Bingo chart.
Plus, I've made a list here of some suggestions: one chapter book and one picture book per category. We have read each and every one on this list and would highly recommend them. But please make this your own! Choose to either fill out a row or the whole sheet. Use picture books or chapter books. The point is to have FUN and enjoy learning this summer!
