Printable Summer Bookmarks

Sometimes it’s kind of a chore to get my kids to read over the summer. This year I’m tackling the issue on several fronts. I bought them all a ton of books from our neighborhood garage sale a few weeks ago. I’ve been letting them buy a few of their favorite titles to read on our iPad. And I’ve created a few printable reading incentives by putting together these reading logs and now these cute printable bookmarks!

To make these bookmarks last longer, print them on cardstock – using lamination sheets is even better! Make these into a fun summer craft by punching a hole in the top and adding an embroidery floss tassle with beads or charms!

I’m loving the new printable bookmarks series I’ve started here on Classroom Jr. They are so much fun to make!! You can be sure I’ll be adding more all the time – especially for holidays and seasons. Here’s the first holiday set of 4th of July bookmarks – perfect for a little incentive to stay on top of reading in the middle of the summer!

Summer is here! And I need all the help I can get to keep my kids reading over the next three months. So today I created a big collection of printable reading logs – you can track the number of books, number of minutes, or both with these fun themed printables for both boys and girls.

Here’s a tip I’ve found to get my kids to want to read more – get an Apple iPad or Kindle. Then watch them ask to read (and fight for their turn!) on the family ebook reader. It may be a little pricey, but now that I have an iPad, I can tell you they are totally worth it. Be sure to get the $2 buck math drills app, too (best $2 dollars I’ve ever spent)!!

Summer Poems for Kids

To quote one of our poems below - “If you don’t like summer you must be crazy”! Summer is my family’s most favorite time of year, and this summer will be jam packed with swimming lessons, a vacation, and plenty of boating on the river! Inevitably this means we are in the car a lot, too – which means I’m going to be using a lot of summer printables this year. Though I must admit, our new iPad (and all of the awesome educational apps!) will also be getting some serious use in the car, too!
