Daily News | The best things to do with kids in Philly this week
Last year, the Philadelphia Board of Education reported that only 32% of our city’s third graders read at grade level. For many years, studies have shown that just having readable books around makes kids better readers. Although this week’s to-do list isn’t all about literacy, most of the events should serve as a reminder that our children need access to books.
As always, come early for the arts, crafts, and the giant wooden slide. Ages 1-8. Kid authors from Big Ideas for Little Learners sessions at the Kroc Center get to show off their work — and swap books — during a day at the museum geared toward families. Ages 6+.
