Read Ready launches Mayors’ Fall into Reading Challenge in six NKY cities

Read Ready is inviting families in Bellevue, Covington, Dayton, Ludlow, Newport and Southgate to build a love of reading and learning through the Mayors’ Fall Into Reading Challenge, running through October.

The challenge features two age-based tracks that encourage families to read, play and learn together throughout October. Participants can earn weekly prizes and recognition, and families that meet their goals for all four challenge weeks will be entered to win a Fall Family Literacy Basket.

“Helping children become confident learners starts with the everyday moments families share such as reading a story, singing a song or exploring through play,” said Dr. Jenny Watson, vice president of early learning and family power at EducateNKY. “This challenge gives families simple ways to make those moments part of their routine, with encouragement from their mayors and communities every step of the way.”
