ProvoREADS will host a Family Literacy Night for families with children in PreK through 3rd grade on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, according to an Oct. 12 statement.
The event is scheduled to take place at Shoreline Middle School from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Participants at the Family Literacy Night will have access to literacy activities and practical ideas for reading at home. The event will also feature a complimentary family dinner and a free book for every child.
In conjunction with these efforts, the October Family Reading Challenge encourages families to read together by reading aloud, taking turns, or having children tell stories through pictures. The initiative aims to help children build confidence as readers by celebrating small milestones and individual reading paces.
The ProvoREADS organization notes that reading together provides opportunities to connect, explore, and enjoy stories. Families are encouraged to let children help choose reading materials and to recognize their effort throughout the reading journey.
