Sports and the Olympics

Do you know any kids who love doing sports — from baseball to basketball to martial arts to soccer — and reading about their sports heroes? Or kids who are excited by the Olympics and learning all about the different events and the host countries? We've gathered up a great collection of books, activities, apps, and websites all about sports and the Olympics.

Try pairing fiction with nonfiction books and exploring different genres [6] (like poetry and biographies) and formats (like graphic novels and audio books). You'll be creating your own "text sets" — collections of texts focused on a specific topic, such as sports and the Olympics. Reading widely in this way helps children build background knowledge [7], vocabulary [8], and comprehension skills.
