Reading Dice: Idea #209

To motivate your student to read more, try making reading dice. All you do is make a cube out of paper or print off a dice template here. On each side of the cube 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!
