The University of Portland School of Education will host its 22nd annual Reading Fair from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, February 28, in the Chiles Center. The event, “Catch the Reading Wave,” is free and open to the public. The event will be hosted by Kappa Delta Pi, the international honor society in education. Every child attending will receive a free book of their choosing.
The fair’s theme is designed to be an integrated approach to literacy that will engage students from pre-kindergarten to middle school. Kid-friendly activities offered throughout the day will include arts, crafts, and game, all designed with literacy and fun in mind. Local school principals will perform read-a-louds as well. The Reading Fair is a great way to get your child involved in literacy while having lots of fun.
