Reading Umbrella Sticker Charts - It's Raining Books: These colorful umbrella shaped sticker chart templates will motivate your students to read 20 times (or 20 books) in a time period that you set for them.
There are 20 raindrops for you to place stickers inside of on these reading incentive charts. You can use these sticker charts to promote and encourage your students to read during the spring. Your students will be motivated to reach the target of getting 20 stickers on these reading umbrella sticker charts.
Reading Umbrella Sticker Charts: What's Included?
You can use these reading umbrella sticker charts to motivate your students to read during the spring. Although I designed these incentive charts to be used during the month of April, this set can be used anytime during the spring, or the rest of the school year if you choose.
There are two templates to cut out and glue together for these sticker charts: the top umbrella section and the handle. The reading umbrella sticker charts measure 10 inches in width and 15 inches in height when it is assembled.
The stickers are placed inside the raindrops on the umbrella. I have designed the boxes inside the reading umbrella sticker charts to fit the standard small stickers that many teachers use. If you do not have these small stickers, you can draw a smiley face or place a check mark inside each box.
Students write their names in the handle and the umbrella's stick says, "It's Raining Books!"
I personally like to print out the color umbrella templates. I give each student an umbrella and have them write their names inside the handle. Then, I laminate these sticker charts. By doing this, later when I take each student's sticker chart off of my bulletin board, the chart does not accidentally rip. I also think that it looks impressive to parents to send home these colored laminated sticker chart templates when they are completed so that my students can post them in their bedroom, or on the refrigerator, as a sign of their reading achievement.
I realize that not all teachers are able to print out color templates for each of their students, so I have provided black and white templates of this chart. You can have your students color their reading umbrella sticker charts themselves using the black and white templates.
This "It's Raining Books!" sticker chart set contains 37 pages of printable resources and includes the following components:
Black and white umbrella and handle sticker chart templates (2 pages)
9 different colored umbrella and handle sticker chart templates (18 pages)
Student award certificate in color and black and white (2 pages)
Parent letter and reading record sheet to send home in a Micosoft Word document that you can edit to meet your individual needs and requirements (2 pages)
8 umbrella accent pieces for your bulletin board display (8 pages)
You can cut out these reading umbrella sticker charts along the thick black lines to have unique umbrella shaped incentive charts.
Below are the black and white reading umbrella sticker charts. There are two handles on each page to save paper when printing these pages.
There are 9 different colored umbrella templates for you to choose from. The first 2 are a variety of different colors:
The other 7 umbrella templates are in the following colors: red, orange, green, yellow, pink, purple, and blue. Below you will see examples of the red, green, and pink reading umbrella sticker charts.
These Reading Umbrella sticker charts are a wonderful way to positively reinforce your students for making progress towards their reading goal. If you want to take this a step further and recognize your students' accomplishments of achieving the reading goal that you have set for them, I have designed a matching student award certificate.
You can present this award to your students when they have reached their goal. A black and white copy of this award certificate is also included in this set.
Your students will be excited to take their completed Reading Umbrella sticker charts home with them, along with their matching achievement award. Their parents will be impressed with the extra effort that you have put forth in positively reinforcing and encouraging your students to read books on their own.
Below is an example of the matching student award certificate that comes with this sticker chart set.
Many teachers like to make classroom bulletin board displays featuring their students' sticker and incentive charts. These sticker chart displays provide a strong visual reminder to students of the goal that they are trying to achieve.
Bulletin board displays and preparing them take a lot of time for teachers. Many teachers spend their valuable time cutting out large display letters or making a banner on their own at home on their computer.
This time is valuable and better spent on developing your classroom curriculum and grading papers, so I have designed a matching 5 page display banner for your bulletin board. If you have access to a laminating machine, you can laminate your banner so that it is durable and you can use it year after year for your bulletin board display of these Reading Umbrella Sticker Charts.
Below is an example of the 5 page bulletin board display banner that is included in this set.
Below: This Reading Umbrella sticker charts set includes 8 colored umbrellas to use as bulletin board accent pieces to help you create your eye-catching bulletin board display.
The 8 reading slogans that are written inside the umbrellas are:
Our Reading Sticker Charts
It's Raining Books!
Get Drenched With Books!
Spring Into Reading!
Each Vocabulary Word You Learn is a DROP of New Knowledge!
Open Up Your Reading Umbrella!
Get Soaked With Great Literature!
On a Rainy Day, Curl Up With Your Favorite Book! (a second copy with the spelling favourite is included)
Below is a letter that you can send home to parents that explains this home reading program, along with the worksheet for parents to sign each time their child reads at home. This parent letter is in the form of a Microsoft Word Document so that you can edit it to your own word choice.
The title in the letter currently says April Reading Program, but you can easily change that in this Microsoft Word Document. These reading umbrella sticker charts can be used anytime of the school year.

As your students are reading these 20 books and completing their Reading Umbrella sticker charts, I would encourage you to have your students respond in writing to some of these books. Many students find one page worksheet response sheets very boring.
For this reason, I created a variety of different types of book report projects for my students to complete after they have read a book. Instead of being bored, my students are excited and engaged when they are completing their book report templates and projects. My students look forward to doing these projects and ask me when they get to do their next project. By combining reading incentive charts and creative book report projects, my students have been very enthusiastic about reading books independently.
If you are looking for some creative ideas for how your students can respond to the books that they have read, please check my web page that is dedicated to unique and one of a kind book report templates and projects. On the right you will see an example of my Cheeseburger Book Report Project.
