These activities are designed to promote and stimulate an interest in reading.  Some are tried and true methods, but with a twist; others are innovative (Battle of the Books Game Show) and challenging.  You can adapt them to any age or level of reader.  I know that I'll definitely be incorporating some of these ideas!
