Reading Games

Staying committed to reading together takes encouragement, especially in the busy seasons between milestones.

Playful challenges can help families find motivation to set small, joyful goals—whether it’s finishing a favorite story, reading for a few extra minutes, or celebrating a shared achievement. Such engagements can strengthen family reading routines by building confidence and joy that carry children forward, and prepare them for school and beyond.
