🖍️ Library Girl Reading Challenges: August

Just for fun, I’ve started creating monthly reading challenges for readers of all ages. Here's the one for August!


I realize that it's summer and a lot folks are out of school right now, but to those who are still working with kids over the summer, or to anyone who just wants to do some reading and coloring in August... this one is for you! That said, although I no longer live in the American South East, one of my favorite memories from that time and place is seeing fireflies (or lightning bugs!) on hot summer nights. I tried to recreate that feeling in this month's coloring sheet. And... although, it's not hidden, I included a dragonfly reading, too!


As a reminder, back in January, I decided to create monthly "reading challenges" that:

  • focus on authentic reasons for reading (instead of having kids log page numbers, etc), and...

  • couple reading with coloring BECAUSE both reading and coloring are proven stress relievers - and I feel like we all could use a bit less stress right now.


You can download this resource, and all the other month's challenges, here.


Finally, I've gotten some questions about how I create these. I use a combination of the following tools to create the monthly book challenge (and the book related) coloring sheets I share. Each coloring sheet takes me between 4-10 hours to create. (I'm slow).



Happy reading and coloring!
