Teach your child the art of the status update with this cutting-edge take on the old-fashioned book report: the social media book review!

Children will read a book, then retell the story with pictures they have painted on stones.

Recruit a grandparent, pen pal, or far-off friend and get ready to engage your child in some old-fashioned communication, with a new twist.

Representing the story in a visual way makes it easier for your child to compare the traits of various characters.

In this fun fall-themed activity, your child will design and decorate a pumpkin based on a picture book. After completing their pumpkin, they’ll write a short story about a new adventure related to their picture book.

Help your kids put together a travel journal for your family's next vacation to get them reading, writing, and thinking about what's happening on the trip.
