SOME THINGS YOU MIGHT DO TOGETHER

books for all family members at different points in their life. Decorate
the text with drawings based on the book or pictures cut from magazines.
See if you can work with local schools or volunteer organizations to read
to other people who are just starting on the road to reading.

script, choosing the costumes and actors, and putting together a program
for the people who come to the play.
