Raising Readers

In my last blog, I wrote about summer reading options available through PBS Kids programming and at your local Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County branch. But let’s not stop there. Let’s look at more of the resources PBS makes available to parents and caregivers all year round to help you raise a reader.

PBS’ Raising Readers website has many tips and tricks that will help you turn reading into something fun and easy to do everyday. There are printable color or black and white coupons you can use to encourage your child to keep on reading. The Daily Reading Activity Calendar has a fresh idea everyday for a reading activity for you and your child.

The Reading & Books area includes online resources to help you find just the right book for your child. Expert advice from children’s book lovers and librarians will help guide you too. Best of all, the Reading & TV area has resources that help you make the connection between the educational PBS Kids programs that your kids already love to watch and reading.

The PBS Kids Island area offers multiple interactive online games for kids to practice their budding language arts skills.

Visit the Raising Readers website today!
