The resulting interactive PDF and online resource provide suggestions on what might be said to children and youth during the pandemic, what can be done to support our public health care system, and how we will get through this together.

From bringing you closer as you share stories to having a special time together at the end of the day, reading aloud to your children has many benefits. Reading isn’t just a part of the school day but a lifelong practice you can reinforce and celebrate at home. You can share favorite books, explore new titles, and read aloud together.
What does it look like to read aloud to your children? A child who might not read independently can sit with you side-by-side as they listen to you read a picture book.

In this blog post, Monica Burns has nine tips for reading aloud to your children. Reading aloud can happen at any age.
