activities Welcome to our new raising readers Activities Page!

Here you will find lots of fun, activities that you and your child can do together. We have worked with child development experts to develop some great hands on activities to coincide with the titles and themes of the raising readers books!

Print some of the activities below - some are suggestions for ways to talk to your child about the raising readers books - others are some fun activities that are great for you to do with pre-schoolers.

Enjoy these activities with your child- not only will you both have quality time together- but you will help your child work on early literacy skills!

The Maine Humanities Council also does podcasts periodically with readings and suggestions for book activities. Visit their website for more information
