Umbrella Sticker Chart Templates:
What's Included?

You can use these 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.

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.

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!
• 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.
