“Your kids” look up to you, listen to you, love you. Their parents look to you for insights about the little person you see developing, and for advice on how to raise good readers and learners.

On all counts, your influence goes far beyond the time and space you share with your kids. Not only do you make reading a vital part of their school day, you can make it a vital part of their family life!

Reading Journals
READ! 365 encourages the use of Reading Journals as an ideal way to get parents in the habit of reading to their children for 20 minutes a day, every day.

READ! 365 has prepared a parent’s introduction to Reading Journals, as well as artwork that can be used to create monthly journals. Other helpful materials, such as certificates to recognize everyday readers and READ! 365 bookmarks, are available on our Good Stuff page.
