My Project

I have selected six books for my boys to read while they are at home during Christmas break. My 12-year-old daughter is making them book buddy pillows for Christmas and I would love to have books to put in them.

Reading is one of the most important skills for them to learn in school.

Providing these books for them to read over the holiday break will hopefully encourage them to read more and learn to love reading. I am hoping these books will provide some fun family engagement activities for them to do as a family.

Some of these books will provide fun activities for the kids to build like How to Catch an Elf. They can build traps to catch the elf, gingerbread man, or snowman.
