Read Aloud 15 Minutes 21 Day Challenge

Along with spring flowers and the hint of warmer weather on its way, March is also National Reading Awareness Month. The American Academy of Pediatrics is celebrating by creating a 21 Day Challenge: Read Aloud 15 Minutes – 21 Day Challenge

Children of all ages enjoy listening to books, and even struggling readers can get in the game by reading books on their independent level to younger siblings or even the family pet!  (Read more about how reading to animals can boost a child’s literacy skills here!)
