With GenZ, it can be tough to make them read. So when the rigidity against reading is high, the parents and teacher should come up with something interesting.

Engaging our learners and reading is challenging. Sometimes it's difficult to know where to start.

Blackboard radio has come up with fun and engaging activities to cope with problems. Here is a list of fun reading drills. These activities will make sure that the kid is not engaged in the idiot box anymore.

Heads up - Prepare a list of words that are associated with something or the order. Place the list on the top of your head.

Divide the group into two and click the timer at about 2 minutes.
Now one partner has to enact the works written. They can imitate as well.
One student will try to read the word quickly, and the other person will guess the word or the closely associated word.

One word splash - Make the student read out a short story or a passage.

Now ask them to comprehend everything that's written in a single word.
This will induce the student to read carefully and come up with good words universally.

Graphics sorting -

Make the student read out a story aloud to the class.
The next thing the kid is asked to do is. Choose pictures that resemble the story.
Every picture should be placed according to the happening in the story.
It is an excellent exercise for literal comprehension.

Classify and Revise - It's a collaborative activity where a perfect summary of a story is written.

Now the paired group of students have to read that summary and expand the summary to a whole story.
It's the reverse of the three-two-one activity where the students have to classify based from larger point to lower point.
