Read Together, Grow Together
Celebrate reading with a family event that includes classroom story time, bookmark making, and a book swap where each student takes home a new-to-them book.
How it Works
Families gather for a school event that blends classroom story time, bookmark making, and a book swap, with clear communication and simple planning steps guiding them through each station to ensure everyone feels welcomed and engaged. The resource includes sign-in sheets, Reading Passports, bookmark templates, event directions, sample family emails, and extra tips for building engagement.
Educator Collaboration
This resource was built in collaboration with dedicated educators and school leaders who shared their experience, ideas, and insights at every step. We’re grateful for their partnership in creating tools that truly make a difference in schools.
