A parent and child at Phillips’ “Books Are Magic” Party

In 2012, Read Aloud began a decade-long campaign to make reading aloud for 15 minutes/day the new parenting standard–likening the campaign to those designed to make daily toothbrushing a part of the routine, and carseat and seatbelt use ubiquitous.
