Make reading fun with a small Valentine reading challenge for kids!

I come from a family of readers.

People thought my sister and I were joking when we would say my mom lived in a 2 bedroom apartment.

She used one bedroom, while her books used the other.

No jokes!

I’m thankful Lia, Sam and Ana have developed a love for reading too.

A secret in raising avid readers is to fuel that fire for reading with a little creativity.

And nothing works better than a reading challenge. 

A Valentine Challenge Your Kids Will Love!

Remember my Fall Challenge to make reading fun for kids?

I sent that along to my daughter’s 1st-grade teacher, and she shared it with the kids’ parents.

It was a fun way to get new, and developing readers to spend time with their books. 

When it was time to bring out our Christmas decor and prized collection of Christmas books, I thought it would be neat to expand a little on the Fall Reading Challenge,

and thus the Christmas Challenge Reading Kit was born.

(Yes, kit!)

Complete with a Christmas Reading Challenge, 16 Bible Verses to celebrate the season, a Reading Log and Bookmarks, this complete kit is just a sweet way to keep our young readers fired up!

And now, here we are. 

A new year and Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away.

You know what that means, right?

We can’t not have a Valentine-themed kit, right?

A FUN Valentine Reading Kit!

This adorable sloth themed reading challenge kit comes complete with:

1. A Valentine-themed Reading Challenge, listing 16 prompts.

This challenge could serve as a Valentine’s Day countdown of sorts. 

Have your child pick a prompt on Jan 30th. By the time he/she marks off the last prompt of choice, it will be February 14th.

2. 16 Bible verses on love.

Again, you can read a verse a day, to lead up to Valentine’s Day.

Or read 2 or 3 each day. 

I would not recommend reading all 16 verses on one day as would not serve the purpose of helping your child understand what each verse means. 

3. A Reading log

It’s always fun to have a goal to work towards.

You could throw in a prize, perhaps whip up one of these Valentine treats for kids

or even a Valentine-themed book if your child fills up the log before Valentine’s Day.

4. Super cute Sloth Bookmarks

All books need bookmarks, right?

Aren’t these adorable?
