I recommend using a Laminator and Laminating Pouches. It will keep your reading calendar usable for many years. If you use a dry erase marker to X out the challenges completed then at the end of the month, you can just wipe it off and put it away for next year. You can laminate this Christmas Reading Challenge printable and post it on the refrigerator making it easy for your child to see what they’ve done.
