If there was an easy way to improve your child’s chances of succeeding in school, would you take it? Of course you would! The secret: take time to read with your child.
Every time you read with your child, you show them that reading a book can be a warm, happy, and fun experience. Those feelings ignite a lifelong love of learning and reading in them. We all know that children who enjoy books will do better in school.
Of course, there will be days when it’s tough to read or you forget, but this is a great time to try making reading into a habit. All it takes is a book and dedicating a little quality time to your child. If you’re someone who loves a good challenge, why not join our 21 Day Reading Challenge?! For more info, look below.
This topic is a key component of the following early learning domain and goal:

21 Day Challenge
This year we challenge you to make a resolution to read more with your child. They say it only takes 21 days to form a habit. Start one today that will make a lifetime of difference for your child.
To help you along the way, take the 21 Day Challenge. Simply read aloud to your child every day for the next 21 days,
and mark off the book icon each time you read together. When you’re all done, send your completed sheet back to us by February 5th, and we’ll enter you into a drawing for fun, kid-friendly prizes!
