SHIM Reading Party

South Hills Interfaith Ministries (SHIM) is teaming up with Michigan-based Read Aloud to promote early childhood literacy.  South Hills Interfaith Ministries (SHIM) will be hosting a “Big Box of Books” reading party.  The Big Box of Books is a program of Read Aloud, a non-profit that works to ignite a passion for reading aloud in families nationwide.  Their goal is: Read Aloud, 15 Minutes; Every Child, Every Parent, Every Day. 

Each Big Box of Books reading party brings together families and community volunteers to stage learning and sharing sessions. These 90 minute programs are where participants tour stations that highlight activities and tips for reading aloud with loved ones.  Approximately 60 children and their parents will participate in the SHIM Reading Party.  Each participating child will receive a box of books revolving around a theme.  The theme for the upcoming reading party is Things That GO!
