First comes March...
by Lancaster, Catherine (MDE) 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

In March we have "Reading Month," this year we're featuring Michigan Reads<http://www.michigan.gov/michiganreads> in March for the first time. If you've not checked out our programming guide online with wonderful activities, songs and more, all broken-down into the 5 Every Child Ready to Read practices, please do so. Then in April the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, Gene Luen Yang, is launching "Reading without Walls<http://geneyang.com/the-reading-without-walls-challenge>." This program is designed to encourage young people to read a book with a character that doesn't look like them, a book about a topic they don't know much about and a book in a format they usually don't read (audio, book in verse, etc). For full details and downloadables go to: http://www.cbcbooks.org/reading-without-walls/. Finally we have May, where we will celebrate the 98th Annual Children's Book Week<http://everychildareader.net/cbw/intro> (May 1-7)! Don't for get to sign up at EveryChildaReader.net to receive posters, downloadable resources, bookmarks and more. Of course all of this leads into June, the start of Summer Reading!
