Teacher Resources Teaching Tip: Score Big for Reading By: Ed, Intermediate Grade Teacher: Wichita, Kansas Children need to be motivated to read when they are young, so that they become independent readers as they grow. This project can be school wide or done in the classroom. Make some paper sneakers. Parents or older students can help you make these. As a child reads a book, they will fill out a form that indicates title, author and 2 or 3 sentences describing the book or their favorite part of the book and why they would recommend this book to another student. When this is completed and checked by the teacher, the student´s name and the book title will be put on a sneaker and posted in the hallway or classroom. When there are 10 sneakers in a row, a basketball appears next with 20 points on it. Each sneaker is worth 2 points and the score is now 20. This is done all around the school or your room. Watch the score grow. Call this Score Big For Reading! This can be done in a variety of ways. Be creative and encourage your children to read.
