Planning a Family Literacy Night? Start Here


Hey Reader,

If you’re thinking about hosting a Family Literacy Night this year, I’ve got something that will make the planning process feel so much easier. Family Literacy Nights are one of my favorite ways to bring teachers, students, and families together — but they can also feel overwhelming if you’re not sure where to start.

The good news? You don’t need a huge budget, a complicated theme, or hours of prep to create an event families will love. With a clear plan and a few intentional choices, you can design a night that builds community, strengthens home‑school connections, and celebrates reading in meaningful ways.

I put together a step‑by‑step guide on the blog that walks you through everything you need to think about — from choosing a theme to organizing stations to sending families home with tools they can actually use.
