Making Reading Fun: Camping edition

If you read my Camping: Day 3 post then you know we bought the kids a new play tent for indoor fun (though it can be used outdoors, too). Today I found Ava in it with her lantern reading one of her independent reading books that I pulled for our theme week. Does it get any cuter?

Side note: We love Billie B. Brown! Have you read any of the series?  They are perfect for new readers who are ready for longer books but not full length chapter books.  The Billie B Brown books have about four chapters in each book.  The writing is large and easy to read and the stories are fun!  Miss Ava really responds to Billie B!  For her independent reading linked to our theme this week, I chose Billie B. Brown and the Midnight Feast.  Billie and her best friend Jack are camping in the back yard and can't wait to have their midnight feast of camping goodies...but are they big enough (and brave enough!) to have a midnight feast on their own?

A few other books that I pulled for her to read on her own during the week were Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping  and Humphrey's Creepy-Crawly Camping Adventure .
