Every family and community has a story worth sharing.

Celebrate Share a Story Thursday with a favorite book, family memory, childhood adventure or story about someone who inspired you. Stories help children learn about the people and places around them while connecting generations and communities.

Ask someone today: “What’s a story you love to share?”

#GeorgiaReadsWeek #ShareAStory #FamilyStories #TogetherGeorgiaReads

Turn up the music and build language through song.

For Sing Together Wednesday, share a favorite song, nursery rhyme or silly tune with a child. Singing helps children hear and play with sounds, words and rhythm—and makes literacy part of an everyday moment.

No perfect voice required. Just sing, smile and enjoy the moment together.

Hands-on learning at its best! 🛠️🌱

Every conversation is a literacy moment.

Celebrate Talk Together Tuesday by starting a conversation with a child. Ask about their day, listen to their ideas and encourage them to tell you more. Every question, answer and shared laugh helps build language, vocabulary and connection.

Try asking: “What was your favorite part of your day?”

#GeorgiaReadsWeek #TalkTogether #EarlyLiteracy #EveryWordMatters

Turn the page, Georgia.

Georgia Reads Day launches Georgia Reads Week with one simple challenge: take a few minutes to read with a child or share a favorite story. As you read, ask, “What do you think will happen next?” One book and one moment together can help build stronger readers, families and communities.

Share your reading moment and invite someone else to join.
