Train Cars Reading Game

Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

Inspiring your kid to read can be tough because it is so hard for him to see his progress. Help keep track of your young reader's progress with a train car reading chart.

Contents

Requisites: Paper, glue, scissors and crayons.

Steps:

1. Cut out two train engines. Write your child’s name on one engine and your name on the other.

2. Now, make a series of train cars. Explain to your child that for each book he reads, he gets to add a car to his designated train. Of course, given that you’ll probably be reading longer books, you most likely won’t get to add as many cars as he does.

3. Hang your engines in a public place with plenty of room to add cars as you read. Place the train cars and a pen, marker or crayon nearby. Encourage him to immediately sit down and read to see if he can add a car today. It’s important to model reading for your child, so you should also read.

4. As he finishes a book, help him write the titles on the train cars and add them to his train.

5. You can also have a family reading challenge with one locomotive and different coloured cars for each family member.

By using one train car per book, his progress will be more tangible and he’ll be more likely to stay motivated.
