Read Across America (LeapFrog giveaway!)

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on March 8, 2009

.

It’s National Reading Month…
Make time to read together!


In celebration of NEA’s National Reading Month, LeapFrog has launched 1 Million Reading Hours where you can pledge to set aside at least 10 minutes a day to read. As a mom who loves to read to her kiddos I am looking forward to contributing to the national goal of 1 million reading hours, by committing to read at least 1 hour more than normal every day!

Will you join me in making a pledge?

tagIn true From Dates to Diapers spirit I have a bit of an incentive to urge you to pledge! Yeah, you knew that was comin’, huh?

Leave me a comment, below, stating how much time you pledged in the LeapFrog 1 Million Reading Hours Campaign. At month’s end, I will randomly choose one winner who will receive (directly from LeapFrog) one (green) Tag reader + 5 books (chosen by LeapFrog) for your own use, as well as an expanded-memory LeapFrog School Tag reader + 10 books (chosen by LeapFrog) to donate to your local library!

Happy Reading!

Be Sociable, Share!

My husband and I pledge at least twenty minutes a night to family reading in bed….one of the biggest gifts you can give your child is the love of reading! We go to the library once a week and pick out tons of books, and we take turns reading to each other.
