Connect with Books in a Whole New Way

At Read to Grow, we know that fostering strong literacy skills requires a variety of engaging, accessible experiences. That’s why we created Popcorn & PJs—a fun and interactive way for families to connect with books in a whole new way.

Through Popcorn & PJs, families can join a virtual storytime featuring a guest author who brings their book to life with a live read-aloud. After the reading, the author answers questions, shares insights about the story, and leads a literacy-based activity designed to engage both children and parents.

Popcorn & PJs is the perfect way to spark curiosity, encourage a love of reading, and create lasting family memories—all from the comfort of home.
