We have been eagerly waiting to share some exciting news with you—we are teaming up with Amazon Kindle!
Together, we created a set of free activities in Spanish and English that PTAs can use to organize events to engage the entire family and focus on improving reading skills between kindergarten and fifth grade. And today, we announced that as the “Official E-reader of the National PTA”, Kindle also will donate e-readers to PTAs in low-income or at-risk schools.
Throughout February, we have been pilot testing PTA Family Reading Experience, Powered by Kindle with families in Albuquerque and Baltimore, and their responses have exceeded our expectations. But don’t take our word for it; read what the families who attended told us.
Are you as excited as we are, yet?
Start planning now to bring PTA Family Reading Experience, Powered by Kindle to your school and offer families the tools they need to help improve their children’s reading fluency, comprehension, and passion. And mark you calendars: the first set of activities will be available on March 18, and PTA leaders at eligible schools can apply for donated Kindles beginning April 1.
Visit PTA.org/familyreading and Amazon.com/Kindleforkids to find out what sets PTA Family Reading Experience, Powered by Kindle apart from other family reading events and how you can help inspire your child to read more.
