"Drop Everything and Read Day," celebrated on April 12, is a special day where everyone stops what they're doing and spends at least 30 minutes reading a book they love. It's a fun way to remind people how enjoyable and important reading is. People at school, home, or even at work, all take a break from their busy day to dive into exciting stories and adventures found in books. By reading together, we celebrate the joy of reading while learning about different worlds, ideas, and cultures. It's like a big reading party that everyone is invited to join!
How to celebrate Drop Everything and Read Day?
Start your day by finding a cozy spot, maybe a comfy chair or a blanket fort. Grab your favorite book or try a new one you've been curious about. Set a timer and read for 30 minutes or more, letting yourself dive into the story. Later, join friends or family for a reading party, where everyone shares what they're reading. You can also create bookmarks with drawings of your favorite book characters. If it's nice outside, take your book to the park for a change of scenery. End the day by reading a short story aloud to someone you love.
