- Read every day as a family. Begin on the birthday of Dr. Seuss, March 2, and conclude on the birthday of author Beverly Cleary, April 12. For more information, visit www.nea.org/readacross or www.dropeverythingandread.com.
- Read in rooms all over your house, then place a sticker in your Read-Aloud house folder to show where you read.
- You may want to list the favorite books you read together on the Read-Aloud log.
- Tell us what you liked about the Family Read Aloud! Take the Farmily Read-Aloud 60 Second Survey.
- Read and Feed! Between March 1 and 15, families visiting the library are invited to bring canned or other non-perishable food to be donated to local food banks in Timberland communities.
A prize drawing will be held on April 16, at the conclusion of the Family Read-Aloud. Two backpacks full of children's books will be awarded for each TRL county (Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific and Thurston).
Note to parents:
Kids who read succeed! Give your children a priceless gift...
Read Together Every Day!
Reading aloud together or sharing library story times nurtures relationships, stimulates imaginations and sends strong positive messages about the value of reading to children. Listening to a familiar voice share a story helps children make their first connection between language and the printed word. | |
