📚 Throughout the month of July, we're sharing reading tips to help you get ready for the new school year. 📚 DEAR stands for 'Drop Everything and Read,' and it's a fun way to get everyone in the house reading together. Choose a time during the day, and when the time comes, drop what you're doing and dive into a good book! 📖
