Book Activity Kits

Activities to Bring Raising Readers Books to Life

Reading aloud is one of the best ways parents can help their children develop a love of books and reading. However, there are many additional ways books can be enjoyed and explored! Explore our series of  activity kits based on many of the books distributed through the program. Many of them contain crafts, snacks, songs and other activity ideas to accompany each book and help parents/caregivers make the most of the book sharing experience.

Use the search feature to find the activity kit for a book you already own. Or, find a kit that appeals to you and borrow the book from the local library. The kits can be used in group settings by childcare providers, libraries, and preschools. Parents will also find helpful and fun activities to do with their own children.  We will continue to create activity kits for additional Raising Readers books. Watch this page for updates as they become available.
