March is National Reading Month, and this month’s RISE Arkansas newsletter is to motivate everyone of all ages to read every day. Reading is fun and has many benefits, regardless of your age, such as increased cognitive function, memory, vocabulary, empathy, and decreased levels of stress. This month, we will celebrate reading and provide lots of ways you can enjoy reading with your family. Included is a Monthly Family Fun Calendar. You can print page 4 and take the RISE Reading Challenge at the end of March by scanning the QR code. There is another fun printable on page 3. Click on the list of fiction and nonfiction books from the newsletter and take it to the library the next time you visit. Use this link below to share with others on digital formats.
