Mark your calendar: September 6 is National Read a Book Day! It’s an annual awareness day that encourages both children and adults to take a break and read one of your favorite books or even a new one.
Reading is one of the most important skills we teach our children. What better way to celebrate national book day than doing fun holiday activities for kids! You’ll find engaging Halloween printables, Christmas hands-on crafts, 4th of July DIY tutorials, and more!
Ways to Celebrate National Reading Day

We have a free gift for you! To motivate kids to read more, we’ve created a reading log to help your children keep track of the books they have read. Isn’t that cool?!
