For Sing Together Wednesday, share a favorite song, nursery rhyme or silly tune with a child. Singing helps children hear and play with sounds, words and rhythm—and makes literacy part of an everyday moment.
No perfect voice required. Just sing, smile and enjoy the moment together.

Georgia Reads Day launches Georgia Reads Week with one simple challenge: take a few minutes to read with a child or share a favorite story. As you read, ask, “What do you think will happen next?” One book and one moment together can help build stronger readers, families and communities.
Share your reading moment and invite someone else to join.

Behind every growing reader is an educator who encouraged one more page, introduced one more story and helped build one more moment of confidence.
This Georgia Reads Day, we celebrate Georgia’s teachers, media specialists and school leaders for creating classrooms where curiosity grows and reading comes to life. Thank you for helping students discover the knowledge, imagination and possibilities found in every book.

Your voice is one of your child’s most powerful learning tools. Talking through everyday moments, singing favorite songs and reading together help newborns and young children build language, strengthen connections and develop skills that support lifelong learning.
Healthcare providers, caregivers and families all play an important role. Start early, make it part of every day and remember: every word makes a difference.
#4theT #GeorgiaReadsDay #GeorgiaReadsWeek #TalkSingRead #EarlyLiteracy
Strong readers help build stronger schools, families and communities—and local libraries help make reading possible for everyone.
This Georgia Reads Day, visit your library, get a library card and discover the stories, resources and programs available in your community. When more Georgians have access to reading and learning, our entire state moves forward.
