This should work: http://fwd4.me/H9C
The Summer Reading Challenge was one initiative, but it does seem to me
that after Bookstart reading and families is more or less neglected,
maybe we could do with a project for continuing the promotion of family
reading after bookstart, there is a website in the US:
Reading With Your Whole Family
http://www.rif.org/parents/whole.mspx
With lots of information for different age ranges...
http://www.rif.org/parents/
There is an article here also:
The Family that Reads Together.... (aka What's in it for ME?)
http://fwd4.me/H9H
Which I found on this page:
Top 10 Children's Literature Articles of 2009 http://fwd4.me/H9K
