May is “Get Caught Reading Month,” a time to celebrate the fun and joy of reading. The whole Ello team will be sharing “caught reading” photos and book recommendations this month.
To kick off this super fun month of reading celebration, here are some fun ways to celebrate with your favorite readers:
All month, encourage everyone in your family to announce when they catch each other in the act of reading. It’s a great way to encourage a positive habit, and will help your children notice just how much reading goes on in their everyday lives.
And let’s be real: what kid wouldn’t delight in yelling “gotcha” all month to their parents?
Use this month as inspiration to try new things when it comes to reading. You and your child can:
Give your child a new reading experience this month: reading with Ello! It will boost their reading confidence, motivation, and skills.
No matter how often your family usually visits the library, add some extra library time into the schedule this month. Many libraries and bookstores offer special “Get Caught Reading” events, so check locations near you to see what’s up this month.
Invite some friends over for a fun (and free) way to clean out and refresh the family book collection. Have everyone bring several books that they enjoyed but are ready to part with, then let the swapping begin!
