A book list featuring SEEDS and and a bookish art project

  Spring is upon us, and that has us thinking about seeds! In this week's newsletter we share a list of books about seeds, featuring Eric Carle's The Tiny Seed. And we've also got a fun art project too, inspired by that same book! Read our latest post on Substack for the full list and instructions for making this Eric Carle-inspired flower collage. Happy Spring! 

Coming Soon: April Poetry Challenge!

 
April is National Poetry Month, and we're once again inviting you to participate in a celebration of poetry! This year we are hosing a Parent and Child Poetry Challenge, inviting you and your children to learn about and write poetry together. Each week, beginning on Monday, April 3, we will feature a different form of poetry. The posts will include sample poems, reading suggestions, and tips for writing the featured form of poem.

We would love for you to participate and share your poems with us! You can share the poems in the comments on the blog each week, in replies to our social media posts, or on your own social media feeds using the hashtag #RDDPoetryChallenge. Alternatively, you can email your poems to readdiscussdo@gmail.com. At the end of the month there will be a post featuring all of your wonderful poems. How cool will it be for your children to see the poems you are writing together featured here on Read, Discuss, Do?

If you don't have kids or your kids are grown, you are still welcome to join the fun. Feel free to borrow a grandchild, niece or nephew, or the child of the friend. Maybe even your own parent or grandparent! We're pretty chill about the "rules" around here. 

In addition to our weekly challenge posts, we'll be sharing plenty of other poetry content here on the blog and on Instagram and Twitter. I hope you stick around for the fun!
