Time Travel with Magic Treehouse Books
Posted by: Christina / Category: Reading with the Kids, Themed ActivitiesDo your kids like to read during the summer break? My daughter is a very good reader but she doesn’t pick up a book during the summer because it resembles schoolwork. Why not “kill two birds with one stone” as they say and reinforce good reading habits while learning some history?
The Magic Treehouse books by Mary Pope Osborne are a great source of adventure, even for kindergarteners. The main characters are Annie and her brother Jack who discover a strange but magical treehouse filled with books. Simply by opening the books, they are transported to another time period for a new adventure.
This summer your kids can join the adventures of Annie and Jack by collecting stamps in their very own passport. Simply go to the Magic Treehouse website to download and print your personal passport, read the books, answer questions online, and collect your stamp to add to your passport.
There are also free printable pages, information about the author, and even a writer’s lesson plan for your young Shakespeare.
Yet another way to make reading and learning during the summertime fun!
