May is National Family Reading Month

NATIONAL FAMILY READING MONTHis a Scholastic initiative that represents the heart of their business— literacy being the key to learning and achievement. We believe that all children, with the help of their families and reading role models, can benefit from a lifelong love of reading. The National Family Reading Month (NFRM) encourages families to read together on a regular basis to create strong reading habits. Most of us know how important reading together is and its long-term value to our children’s success in school and in life. However, we also know it is not always that easy to put into practice with our busy schedules and increasing competition with screen time. That is why we ask you to take the 31-Day Challenge during May — to inspire you to make reading together for at least 10 minutes every day a focus, to create positive, long-lasting reading habits and lifelong readers! 

You are invited to go to the Scholastic website to join the 31-Day Reading Challenge. 

Visit scholastic.com.au/nfrm for downloads, reading tips, etc.
