A Note from Mrs. Kese...
Shower Your Shelf with Books:
An April Reading Challenge for Kids
- Celebrate National Siblings Day on April 10 by reading a book about siblings. Share the story with your own sibling if you have one!
- Find a children’s poetry collection, and read the poem you find there.
- Laugh your way through a book of jokes. Memorize one of the jokes and tell it to a friend.
- Think of a skill or hobby you’d like to learn or get better at. Find a nonfiction book with information or how-tos.
- Read a book in a voice that sounds like your oldest or youngest relative.
- Check out a book with penguins to read on World Penguin Day, April 25.
- Read a book aloud to a plant you want to see grow.
- Think of your favorite movies. Find out if any of them were books first and, if so, read the book! (Ask an adult for help with your research if needed.)
- Find your favorite reading spot in your home. If it’s possible, design a sign to make it yours.
