Parent Reader Day Brings Families Into the Story

There was something special about having a family member visit the classroom and share a story. We recently hosted Parent Reader Day at Child's World School Encino, and we were excited to welcome family readers into our classrooms!

Teachers coordinated with families to invite a parent or loved one to read aloud to their child's class. We provided a Halloween-themed book for each reader, though families were also welcome to bring a favorite book of their own.

Reading together supported language development, listening skills, imagination, and a lifelong love of books. It also gave children a chance to see the important grown-ups in their lives participating in their school day. They were always so proud to welcome someone they loved into their classroom!

We were grateful to the family members who shared their time with us. These simple moments helped make our school feel like the warm, connected community we wanted it to be.

Happy Parent Reader Day!
