On Lily’s Building Bridges with Books bingo sheet, one square is a chapter book. All of the chapter books I have from when I was younger are too advanced and lengthy for a kindergartener (think Baby-Sitters Club and Goosebumps).

“Arthur’s First Sleepover” by Marc Brown

Every week when Lily comes home with her new library book, she always brings home a book about Arthur. This week was no exception.

“Arthur’s First Sleepover” by Marc Brown

October also started the Pizza Hut Book It! Program. Lily set a goal of 10 books by the end of the month. We have read 3 already.

Her school has another reading incentive based on Bingo. She has 25 squares, each with a theme (non-fiction, fairytale, how to, etc.) or character (Arthur, Clifford). For each square, she has to do a little book report on if she liked the book and answering a question about it (favorite character, the setting, the main character’s feelings, etc.).

She already has a stack of books to read this weekend!
