Read and Romp-Tuscaloosa is an exciting, innovative FREE family literacy event for children ages 3-5 and their families at Government Plaza Park in Downtown Tuscaloosa on April 28, 2018 from 9 am – 12 pm. Started by the national Reach Out and Read organization in Boston as a signature event, Read and Romp-Tuscaloosa is unique in that it is a collaboration of organizations that have early childhood literacy and family engagement as priorities. At Read and Romp-Tuscaloosa, children will be engaged in fun, learning-based activities themed around favorite children's books. Children will leave the event with goodies that they have either created or earned by completing each station along with a stamped passport and a bag of brand new books. By associating fun-filled activities with reading, parents will learn ways to engage with their child on the life-long journey of learning at an early age, which will help increase their children's success in school. While centered on books, each station will be manned by organizations and businesses that are child-focused, providing families an opportunity to learn about activities that will enhance the development and education of their young children. Children completing the activities at each station will receive a bag of free brand-new books.
