Georgia Reads Week - Thursday
Turn up the music and build language through song.

For Sing Together Wednesday, share a favorite song, nursery rhyme or silly tune with a child. Singing helps children hear and play with sounds, words and rhythm—and makes literacy part of an everyday moment.

No perfect voice required. Just sing, smile and enjoy the moment together.

Georgia Reads Week - Wednesday
This week, Ms. Elisa and Ms. McCall's Pre-K class learned about making healthy choices, including eating nutritious foods and practicing good hygiene. 🥦🧼 Today, they enjoyed some “healthy popsicles” and held a taste test featuring sweet tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, strawberries, purple grapes, cotton candy grapes, kiwi, and mango. 🍓🥕🥝🥭 Afterward, they recorded which foods they liked. When the children tasted the cotton candy grapes, one said, “You tricked us! These taste like cotton candy, but there’s no cotton candy inside!” 🍇 That fun surprise explains some of their silly faces! 😄 #wearejtr #4theT

Every conversation is a literacy moment.

Celebrate Talk Together Tuesday by starting a conversation with a child. Ask about their day, listen to their ideas and encourage them to tell you more. Every question, answer and shared laugh helps build language, vocabulary and connection.

Try asking: “What was your favorite part of your day?”

Turn the page, Georgia. 🍑

Georgia Reads Day launches Georgia Reads Week with one simple challenge: take a few minutes to read with a child or share a favorite story. As you read, ask, “What do you think will happen next?” One book and one moment together can help build stronger readers, families and communities.

Share your reading moment and invite someone else to join.

Thank You for Keeping Georgia Reading.


Behind every growing reader is an educator who encouraged one more page, introduced one more story and helped build one more moment of confidence.

This Georgia Reads Day, we celebrate Georgia’s teachers, media specialists and school leaders for creating classrooms where curiosity grows and reading comes to life. Thank you for helping students discover the knowledge, imagination and possibilities found in every book.

Georgia Reads Day
Talk More. Sing More. Read More.

Your voice is one of your child’s most powerful learning tools. Talking through everyday moments, singing favorite songs and reading together help newborns and young children build language, strengthen connections and develop skills that support lifelong learning.

Healthcare providers, caregivers and families all play an important role. Start early, make it part of every day and remember: every word makes a difference.

Mrs. Contreras’s 2nd-grade scientists had a hands-on learning experience exploring how atoms connect to form molecules and other structures. Students used marshmallows to represent atoms and toothpicks to depict the bonds connecting them. They had a great time creating their own structures while practicing creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork!

Science is always more enjoyable when we can build it! 💙 #wearejtr #4theT

Georgia Reads Day

📚 Georgia Reads Day is September 21st!

On September 21st Tift County will join other communities across Georgia celebrating Georgia Reads Day, kicking off Georgia Reads Week, September 21st – 25th.

Georgia Reads Day is an opportunity for everyone to celebrate literacy by sharing a simple, meaningful moment with a child, family member, student, neighbor, or friend. You do not need a special event, a classroom, or even a new book!

💬 A conversation is a literacy moment.
🎶 A song is a literacy moment.
📖 A story is a literacy moment.
📚 A trip to the library is a literacy moment.

Follow us on social media and throughout the week we will share literacy activities you can enjoy at home with your child. Every literacy moment helps build the skills, confidence, and curiosity children need to become lifelong learners.
