Hey, I just was visiting the Literacy Launchpad blog and found out about the 2009 Read with Kids Challenge! US Airways has joined RIF (Reading is Fundamental) to sponsor this challenge, which aims to collectively log 5 million minutes spent reading with children through June 30. If you join celebrities like Al Roker, Jerry Seinfeld, and Billy Crystal in participating, you could win a US Airways vacation package to a Walt Disney World Resort! Read more about it here.
Reading is Fundamental (RIF) is our "nation's oldest and largest children and families' literacy nonprofit organization." RIF provides millions of underprivileged children (from birth to the age of 8) with free books and literacy resources each year. The organization also has a wonderful web site, where you can find many literacy resources, including literacy games and reading tips.
I hope you enjoy reading with your child this weekend. Have a happy Mother's Day!
