Simon malls are encouraging children across the country to develop a love for literature and learning with books. On Saturday, March 23, Simon Kidgits Club at Firewheel Town Center is hosting a free Book Blast event inviting families to participate and be inspired to read together at home and beyond.
Simon Kidgits Club’s Book Blast is offering an assortment of fun book-based activities to ultimately help kids reap the many benefits of reading. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, a division of the U.S. Department of Education, children who are read to at home enjoy substantial advantages over children who are not. Book Blast event offerings include a read-aloud sessions, set to take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the park, presented by Firewheel Town Center’s Kidgits Club.
Books to be read include selections from Dr. Seuss, Curious George, and Maisey. Children are also invited to bring a new or gently used book to the events to be donated to Galaxy Counseling Center, further fostering the importance of reading within the community. Book Blast will be a part of Firewheel Town Center’s annual Kidsfest event, including an Easter Egg Hunt kickoff and additional children’s activities.
“Simon Kidgits Club continuously aims to provide children enjoyable, easily-accessible educational opportunities that incorporate some fun,” stated Monica Bermea, director of marketing and business development. “Book Blast does just that; events will motivate families to read, learn and be entertained in a familiar environment that’s close to home.”
