21 Day Read Aloud Challenge

Since March is reading month, the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA) “is teaming up with Read Aloud 15 MINUTES to promote the 21-Day Read Aloud-ASHA Challenge.

The challenge hopes to help parents and caregivers form a habit of reading aloud once they commit to the challenge of reading for 21 days in a row. And what better habit could families form than daily reading with their children?

Read Aloud believes 15 minutes of daily reading with children ages 0 through 8 years can change the face of education in the United States. The organization’s mission involves spreading the word about the benefits of reading. Their goal to make 15 minutes of reading each day the societal norm, is one ASHA supports in various ways.”

Of course, it also fits in with the goals and initiatives at Henry Ford!

Please consider encouraging your parents to participate in the 21-Day Read Aloud-ASHA Challenge.  (The chart/calendar offers some specific tips for parents.)

Thank you!
