A new reading challenge just started. You in?
7 days. 1 prompt a day. More ease. Deeper connection through reading.
Hey, hey,
We just kicked off the next Reading To Connect Challenge—and while yes, there’s a giveaway at the end, this is really about something deeper.
This is a gentle, 7-day invitation to reconnect or amplify reading at home—not as a task or a checklist, but as a rhythm. A moment to slow down, notice more, and feel a little more grounded with your child through a book.
