Ways to Celebrate Get Caught Reading Month

Hey guys. This month is "Get Caught Reading" month and to celebrate, let's all get caught in the act!

Get Caught Reading month is obviously about reading, but why was it created? Well, it was created as a campaign to get more children and people of all ages into reading and lots of celebrities such as Dolly Parton and Cole Sprouse have participated.

Where do you usually read? In bed? On the way to work (if you use public transport)? I've seen people reading in some usual places or situations! For instance, I've seen people read books as they walk. I don't know about you, but I'd definitely walk into something or somebody. Take a photo, or get a trusty friend to take one of you reading somewhere and post it in the comments.

Ways to Celebrate Get Caught Reading Month

  • Host a book giveaway/swap
  • Go to your local library and see if they are hosting any events
  • Host a photo contest for the best "Get Caught Reading" picture
  • Make bookmarks
  • Read with your children/volunteer to read at the hospital/library
  • Read in your lunch break/on the way home or to work
  • Host a Readathon with friends
  • Compare books to movies and write a post about it
  • Write a book review if you haven't before
  • Try and have a go at writing your own short story or encourage your child to
  • Swap a movie for a book night
  • Go to a book sale
  • Sell some of your own books or donate them to charity

Don't forget to read and encourage others to read this month!

I hope you enjoyed this post and I'll see you next time. Love, Vee x
