Reading Spinner: Idea #210

To motivate your student to read more, try making a reading spinner. All you do print off a spinner template here and cut out your own arrow. On each section of the spinner write a way your student has to read the story. For example, Read the story like a monkey or Read the story like a mouse or Read the story to a friend. The ones I used were the following: "Read the story together", "Popcorn Reading", "Read the story to me", "Read the story to yourself", "Read the story in your favorite place", and "Read the story in a whisper". 

Obviously be as creative as you would like and pick things that your particular student would enjoy doing. This activity is a great way to practice reading a story over and over again. It can also be an effective way to help your student read with expression. Your student will enjoy reading in so many different ways!
