Many summers ago, I created a Summer Reading Bucket List, and it went viral. This year I have decided to make a winter reading bucket list to renew our reading excitement while learning from home. This is a FREE printable for teachers to print out and encourage their students to read during remote learning and winter break. Reading shouldn’t feel like homework, and a list like this helps children feel excited about reading all kinds of books. It can be used like a checklist or challenge or just a fun list full of prompts. I’ve included my favorite books for each item on the list, as well as links to book lists to find more titles.
