April is a great month for getting outdoors
and celebrating all of the wondrous beauty
of this earth, as well as taking the time to
think about and teach our children how to
take better care of it.
In this issue you’ll find plenty of Earth
Day activities and books for your children,
including ways to encourage them to enjoy
reading outdoors, a yummy green soup
recipe with dirt cake for dessert, reviews of
some fabulous children’s picture books that
focus on gardening and plants, and Earth
Day tips to help us remember to practice
kindness toward our planet.
Pansies and Petunias is about some Red
Apple Reading friends who join together to
plant a garden.
I hope you enjoy springtime, the outdoors,
and especially enjoy any time you spend with
your children. Don’t forget to make reading
a priority and keep those kiddos reading
regularly for the maximum benefit to their
growing literacy!
Kind regards,
Don’t forget to share this month’s leveled
reader and literacy activities with your child!
