After you read a book, try one of these activities:
​
- Write or video yourself giving your opinion about it.
- Call a friend or tell a family member about it.
- Make an illustration about it.
- Make something out of LEGOs or other materials about it.
- Act it out with a family member.
- Learn more about the topic or author by using keyword searching skills on your favorite search engine site. We like Google or Kiddle.
- Create a card using characters from the story and add a friendly greeting to it, then send it to a nursing home to cheer up one of our elderly citizens.
