UNPLUG & Read Month is a community-wide reading initiative that takes place each year in February. It encourages children and families to step away from electronic devices and come together to enjoy the cultural/educational enrichments of books and other reading materials.
Read To Succeed supports this initiative by providing a list of creative activities that children, families, and individuals can engage in. We also hold a special event each year to help local students celebrate UNPLUG & Read Month. This year, we visited the after-school students at Patterson Park Community Center, and with the help of some amazing volunteers from MTSU’s Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, we showed them how much fun literacy can be!
Are you interested in participating in UNPLUG and Read Month? Below are several ideas to get you started. These fun, enriching literacy activities can be done at home, school, work, or even on a long drive.
Fill out the official Read To Succeed UNPLUG & Read Bingo card as much as you can, and send us a picture along with the list of books you read, and we’ll share it on our social media at the begining of March!
