Georgia Reads Day

Dear Families,

We invite you to join us in celebrating Georgia Reads Day on September 22, 2025. It is a special day dedicated to sharing the joy of reading and growing strong, confident readers together! Throughout the month, Marion County Schools have and will continue to host activities that build excitement around books and encourage students to develop a lifelong love of reading.

Family involvement plays a powerful role in helping children become fluent, comprehending readers. When children see the adults in their lives reading and enjoying books, they are more likely to develop that same passion and motivation. That’s why we invite YOU to be part of the reading celebration!

Here are some ways your family can participate.

  • Library Adventures: Visit the local public library, explore new books, and help your child get their very own library card! September is Library Card Sign-Up Month!

  • Read Together at Home: Set aside 10–15 minutes each evening to read with your child. When you read aloud, please log your reading online to show the entire state that Marion is “READ” All Over! Go Eagles! Go Big RED!

  • Share Your Stories: Talk with your child about favorite books or stories from your childhood. Ask them what books they love, and why!

 

Thank you for partnering with #MarionReads to build a community where reading is celebrated every day!
