Creative Ways to Build a Love for Reading:
Explore Fun Literacy Activities Kids Will Love
Theme: Read, Play, Explore!
At HALL ACADEMY, we believe reading is more than a skill — it’s a superpower. This week, we’re spotlighting reading as our core subject, with a curriculum kit designed to spark curiosity, build fluency, and cultivate lifelong learners.
WHY READING MATTERS
Reading opens doors — to imagination, understanding, and opportunity. Children who read regularly develop better:
Vocabulary & language skills
Focus, memory, and empathy
Academic performance across all subjects
Reading is the foundation of all learning. But it’s not just about books — it’s about building thinkers.
LITERACY FACTS IN THE U.S.
Over 43 million adults in the U.S. cannot read at a 6th-grade level.
2 out of 3 children who cannot read proficiently by the end of 4th grade end up in jail or on welfare.
Children in low-income families own fewer than 10 books — sometimes none.
Reading aloud to a child for 15 minutes a day boosts literacy and strengthens family bonds.
OUR MISSION: A BOOK FOR EVERY CHILD
HALL ACADEMY is committed to pairing every child with a book. Our mission is to end illiteracy — one family at a time — through free access, curated resources, and community support.
We know that when children fall in love with reading early, they thrive in life. That’s why our curriculum kits, reading programs, and digital tools are designed to meet families where they are — whether at home, online, or in underserved communities.
