This Sunday is Father’s Day and our friends at Reading Rockets have some great resources to celebrate dads and encourage reading with their kids.
Did you know that when fathers participate in learning, children receive higher marks, enjoy school more and are less likely to repeat a grade? Read more about the importance of a father’s involvement in their child’s literacy development at ReadingRockets.org.
Share Reading Rockets’ new Father’s Day e-card featuring the artwork of Javaka Steptoe with the great dads you know.
Reading Rockets can also help you find books about Fabulous Fathers to share with dad on his special day and the Reading with Dads booklist from Colorín Colorado celebrates fathers and grandfathers from a variety of cultures and ethnic traditions.
And special to Reading Rockets this Father’s Day, author and National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Jon Scieszka pays tribute to his dad in Playing with Dad. Read it with a dad in your life!
