I PROMISE TO:

Create with you.

Make time for the power of play, imagination, and creativity.

I PROMISE TO:
Share our family culture, language and stories.

Children’s reading ability and confidence improve when grownups proudly pass on their family’s background, heritage and memories.

Family Fun:

  • Draw our family tree together.

  • Write a family memory book together.

  • Make special cards for family birthdays and thank-you notes.

  • Help you role-play our favorite family stories. 

  • Create the story of our family’s next generation together.

  • Honor oral traditions and storytelling by passing down our family history. 

  • Write a family story together with sidewalk chalk. 

More Ideas

  • Visit museums, galleries and other spots that reflect our family, language and community.

  • Attend cultural events, exhibits and performances that mean something to us.

  • Tell your cultural family story with your children as a part of your local library’s year-round series.

I PROMISE TO:
Discover new ways for you to express who you are.

Children’s reading ability and confidence improve when grownups help them pursue interests that energize their learning and interest in reading. The arts, music, drama and more. It all counts.

Family Fun:

  • Make new holiday family traditions with you.

  • Cook something with you from scratch and let you write or draw out the ingredients. 

  • Start a band together with you as our lead singer.
