Celebrate World Read-Aloud Day with Sonlight!
Reading aloud to your children has been a beloved cornerstone of the Sonlight style of homeschooling for over thirty years. So we're thrilled to see a day designated as World Read Aloud Day—a holiday that challenges participants to grab a book, find an audience, and read aloud!
This is a holiday that Sonlighters can fully get behind!
Even though reading aloud may be part of your daily routine already, let's celebrate this truly wondrous method of learning, family bonding, and sheer delight by joining in a social media challenge on the week of World Read Aloud Day, February 2-8, 2022. To sweeten the fun, we're offering book collections as prizes!*
Research continues to confirm what Sonlighters have known all along—reading together does wonders for children! That's worth celebrating on World Read Aloud Day and all year long.
