Megan Daley's printable YKNR bingo sheet to keep kids in touch with books
The school holidays are upon us again and it’s time to put the fun back into reading!
Keeping kids in touch with books (and off screens…) over the break need not be a battleground.
Instead, it’s about looking for book-related activities that keep reading top of mind.
To that end, Your Kid’s Next Read’s resident teacher-librarian Megan Daley has created this printable ‘bingo’ sheet, full of fun book-related suggestions and activities, to help.
