Write a Story:
So we are introducing the idea of more reading to the kids on this celebration but why not start teaching how authors create books for us to enjoy? This is an art that can be started at a young age and something that kids work on for a long time.
Favorite Book:
Have the kids find and share their favorite book. This would be a fun activity in a classroom or daycare but especially at home. Even younger kids can do a verbal book report on why they enjoy reading their favorite books.
Enjoy Dr. Seuss’s Birthday and make sure you pick up a book and read!!
