Sometimes the magic happens without any prompting at all.

These boys discovered a dinosaur book during a recent visit, and what unfolded was pure joy. They passed it back and forth, crowded in over the pages, argued about which dinosaur was the coolest, and stayed at it for almost half an hour. Nobody told them to keep reading. They just did.

It brought us so much joy to watch. This is what we mean when we say a good book has power! The right one finds a kid and theyโ€™re hooked. Check out our website for all the places weโ€™ll be this summer.

Strong readers are not born. They are built, one book at a time.
All it takes 20 minutes, a book, and a parent willing to put the phone down and join in.

That is the whole formula. You are already qualified, because you are already their first teacher. ๐Ÿ“–
Open a book with them today. That is how strong readers get made.
