I am an avid reader, and I hope to pass the love of reading down to my son and the rest of my children (when I have them). To me, reading opens many opportunities to a person that otherwise we wouldn't have.
I also had the pleasure of attending Family Reading Night activities in my area last year. I took my son, and we were read to by different people. My son also won a book. There were treats and prizes given away.
It was nice to see families come together and show how reading can be fun.
Check with your local schools and libraries to see if any activities are offered for Family Reading Night.

How cool is this? Starbucks is now going to have a book club where the 50 first people that sign up will receive an autographed book to read as part of the book club. This is great for those who love to read. This is even better if you love specialty coffees (like myself) and read!
For more information, go to Starbucks V2V, http://www.v2v.net/actions/starbucks-1st-readers-club.
Oh yeah. You bet I signed up!
