Read to Fuel Children's Hearts, Words, Minds & Bodies

Reading together is one of the most important gifts parents/caregivers can give their children. It supports cognitive development; improves language and reasoning skills; helps children and their grown-ups develop trusting relationships; and much more. In honor of Read Across America Week, Sparkler and Read to Grow — in partnership — are releasing a lineup of stories read by the authors and illustrators who created them. In Sparkler’s app or from this web page, find the stories and related activities. The BIG idea: read together, play together, learn together!
