I made a fun Google drawing that has the board along with Monopoly houses and hotels that you can drag over to the prompt/square that you completed. If you would like it, the link below will prompt you to make your own copy that you can use to track your reading. Just a little fun that I used last year and updated it for this year.

If you need additional houses or hotels- just click on one, right click copy then paste.
