Young Readers Day is Tuesday
Since 1989, National Young Readers Week has been an annual event held during the second week of November to raise awareness around the importance of reading. The event was co-founded by Pizza Hut and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. National Young Readers Week will be observed for five days starting Monday, Nov. 12.
This inspirational holiday celebrates children’s education and encourages their love for learning. Reading at an early age is extremely beneficial and ensures a child’s future success. More importantly, it’s an extremely fun activity that sparks creative thinking and imaginative play.
Young Readers Day November 13th
Young Readers Day takes place on Tuesday, Nov. 13, this year. It is celebrated each year on the second Tuesday in November. Young Readers Day is a chance to celebrate with your child/children the importance of reading by listening, reading to or reading together a book.
A simple way to celebrate Young Readers Day is take time and share a selected story with your child or try something different and go to a website that reads to you.

Reading aloud to children has been shown to improve reading, writing and communication skills, logical thinking and concentration, and general academic aptitude as well as inspire a lifelong love of reading. Teachers use Storyline Online in their classrooms, and doctors and nurses play Storyline Online in children’s hospitals.
This past weekend, I needed to check out a book for one of my grandsons as he viewed a book titled “Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus” by Mo Willems earlier in the week on YouTube. After listening several times, he wanted the book in his hand. The interaction time was when the pigeon kept asking one certain question.
