SUMMARY:Read And Write Nights - May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Your favorite monthly virtual program is back…\nOh yes\, it’s Read And Write Night!\nKalamazoo County youth in grades K–5 are invited to join RAWK volunteers and volunteers from the Western Michigan University chapter of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association to share our monthly picture book title. Working in small groups\, we will read aloud and then respond to the story with using engaging and creative prompts that encourage us to discuss\, write\, and draw! After small group time\, we’ll have a chance to share our responses with the whole group. \nHear a perspective that is new to you\, enjoy reading together\, express your ideas\, and find power in the written word. \nAll Read and Write Nights will take place via Google Meet. \nEach participating family will receive a copy of our monthly book prior to the event\nThis month’s session is open to 16 families \n\nRegistration opens on March 23rd\nClick here to register\nOur May title is My First Day \nwritten by Phùng Nguyên Quang and illustrated by Huỳnh Kim Liên \nThis is no ordinary first journey. The rainy season has come to the Mekong Delta\, and An\, a young Vietnamese boy\, sets out alone in a wooden boat wearing a little backpack and armed only with a single oar. On the way\, he is confronted by giant crested waves\, heavy rainfall and eerie forests where fear takes hold of him. Although daunted by the dark unknown\, An realizes that he is not alone and continues to paddle. He knows it will all be worth it when he reaches his destination—one familiar to children all over the world. \n
