Celebrate National Reading Month with a weekly reading challenge!
Week One: Visit your local library and select 2-3 new books to read with your child. Your librarian can help with recommendations or visit PA’s Promise for Children for some options.
Week Two: Create a new reading routine with your child. Select at least 15 minutes each day to spend reading a book with your child. Bedtime is a great option.
Week Three: Select a book and ask your child to tell the story by looking at the pictures. After your child reads the book, read it again, but this time you read the words. Was the story the same or different?
Week Four: Create a book with your child. Talk about what the book will be about. Will it be about something real, or something imaginary? Ask your child to tell you the story while you write down the words. Then they can draw the pictures. Share the book with your family and friends.
