Ideas for ParentsNew! Reading Adventure Pack: Gardening

Go on a green adventure! Our newest adventure pack encourages hands-on fun and learning centered around paired

fiction and nonfiction books. Imagine your own backyard or community garden and map it. Or learn how to start seeds

in easy-to-make starter pots. (In English and Spanish)

Active Read Alouds

The best story times are very interactive: You are reading the story and asking questions, your child is talking and there

is lots of conversation between the two of you. In this video, kids and volunteers come together around books in an

Alexandria, VA reading program. Watch how one reading volunteer engages kids in active conversation about

vegetables, and how an outdoor "milking station" turns into a memorable way to learn new vocabulary words like

"pasteurizing." (To set up your own farm station, download ourFarms reading adventure pack).
