Read Aloud to a Child Week

Posted Date: 10/19/25 (3:00 PM)

Read Aloud to a Child Week October 19-25

Every year during the last week of October, Read to Them sponsors Read Aloud to a Child Week, a national event to showcase the importance of reading aloud to children and to encourage families to read together.

For 20 years, Read Aloud to a Child Week has been a stress-free way for everyone to engage with the literacy community. To participate, all you need to do is pick up a book and read it aloud as a family. 

JISD would like to encourage all families to read at least 5 days this week! If you would like, you may email pictures of your familiy with your favorite book to mallory.pouliasis@jisd.org and we will share them on Facebook!
