How Does It Work?

It has 25 squares. Each square gives a different location. This is your BINGO CHART.

For example, one location on the chart is… the forest.

So, read a book that takes place in a forest Rumble in the Jungle By Geronimo Stilton This book is fiction. This one is at the public library! For example, you could read this book. It takes place in a jungle – which is a type of forest.

Here’s another book with a forest location Flashy Fantastic Rain Forest Frogs By Dorothy Paten Swansfield’s Media Center has this one! This book is informational (nonfiction). That works too! Wait! Isn’t this one about frogs?! Wait! Isn’t this one about frogs?! Sure! But it is also about the forest they live in. Sure! But it is also about the forest they live in.

When you have finished a book, write it in your Reading Log. A Forest p. 39 Flashy, Fantastic Rain Forest Frogs Dorothy Patten 1/5/14 This is your Reading Log.
