Middle School Literacy Activities

Reading is a journey

1. Read! Read! Read!

  • Read 30 minutes a day.
  • Find the most important word from the last 2 pages you read. Why is it important to the story?
  • Think about a book you are reading.  If you could change the setting of the story, what would you change it to?  

2. Research

  • Have you thought about what you want to be when you grow up?  Pick a profession a week to research online.  
    • What type of training/schooling do you need to work in that profession?
    • What is the yearly salary if you work in that profession?
    • Why do you think you would like to work in that field?
    •  
  • If you could pick anywhere in the world to go on a vacation, where would you go?  
    • Create a vacation plan including what you would do each day.
    • How much would it cost?
    • How long would your vacation last?

3. Write about it!

  • Interview someone who is employed in a profession that you are interested in. 
    • Write 5 interview questions prior to the interview.
    • After the interview, are you still interested in that career?
  • Create a book trailer video that gives a "preview" of a book. 

Make today the day to read something new
