ProvoREADS announced an October theme titled "Every Reader Has Their Own Route" in a message published October 12. The initiative aims to celebrate the unique effort, perseverance, and milestones involved in a child's reading journey.
The monthly challenge encourages families to read together by choosing books children enjoy, taking turns reading, or sharing read-alouds. Families are encouraged to pause during reading to discuss pictures or predict upcoming plot points to establish a new tradition.
To support these literacy efforts, a ProvoREADS Family Literacy Night is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 15, from 5:00–7:30 p.m. at Shoreline Middle School. This Parent University event is intended for families with children in PreK through 3rd grade and will include literacy activities, practical home reading ideas, a complimentary family dinner, and a free book for every child.
The program encourages parents to recognize progress through simple verbal encouragement to help children feel pride in their reading efforts.
