Big Announcement… The Virtual Book Club will now have a NEWSLETTER!

Not only will we spotlight the authors on our blogs, but we’ll also be sending out a monthly Virtual Book Club for Kids newsletter.

In our monthly newsletter we’ll share crafts, activities, recipes, and more inspired by the books we’ve read during the month. All activities shared will focus and connect with basic skills of childhood educations including  math, literacy, cooking, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, arts & crafts, and science. Come join in as we help kids connect and have fun with books this year!

If you’re interested in joining us for Virtual Book Club for Kids this year, start by…

After you’ve signed up, here’s a reminder of what participants get to do each month…

1. Pick your favorite book by that month’s author (or a new one you want to check out) and read it with your child or class.

2. Create an activity, project, craft, cooking project, etc. related to the book and do it.

3. Come back and share it with us as part of a big blog hop on the second Monday of the month. The linky will be live for 3 weeks, so if you aren’t ready to post on the exact date… just join in when you can! If you don’t blog, you can share what you did on our Facebook wall, email us, or just comment on the post.
