March is National Reading Month, so a blog about it was bound to happen. Reading is not only a fun activity, but it makes a major difference in a child’s learning and development. Reading books they enjoy regularly can expand a child’s vocabulary, provide a better understanding of different cultures, and increase general knowledge. In the article, Report: The Impact of Reading Books on People, they provide an infographic on how reading can impact different parts of our lives. Check it out below.
As educators, this is information you already know. We’re here to give you ideas on how you can use your digital communication services by SchoolInfo to celebrate National Reading Month and encourage engagement within your community. One of the reasons reading is so great is that it can bring your teachers, students, and their families together. Here are a couple of ideas on how you can celebrate this month!
Start a book club. The club can meet virtually to involve more members of your community. They can use the messaging feature in your branded mobile app by SchoolInfo to schedule meeting times and decide topics for discussion.
Highlight a book of the week. Provide book recommendations for students to read in their free time. As an administrator, you can share recommendations directly to the school’s social media pages and through push notifications all from a single dashboard. Or have your teachers share a book each week in their class's group message.
