Pajama Program's mission is to promote and support a comforting bedtime routine for all children to help them thrive. At our Reading Centers in NYC and Atlanta, we welcome thousands of children every year for Reading Parties with our educators and caring volunteers. While we can't be together in person, we're bringing the experience online so children can tune in to hear their favorite stories!
Volunteers will choose a children's book for ages 3-9 years old and record a video of themselves reading. You can read by yourself, with pets, puppets, etc. We just ask that readers have fun with it and be engaging! You can find past Virtual Reading Parties on our Facebook and Instagram pages (@pajamaprogram) to get an idea of how they are done.
Choose your favorite book and email the Pajama Program team ([email protected]) to make sure that story hasn't already been recorded by someone else.
Record your story! TIPS: Use a vertical format • Introduce yourself! • Give the author & illustrator a shoutout • Take your time showing the pictures & ask your listeners engaging questions • Include your favorite (family-friendly) bedtime routine tip
Submit your final video recording via email ([email protected]) or upload here: bit.ly/VirtualReadingParties
We'll confirm your schedule and any other details before the video is posted.
Tell your followers to tune in at @PajamaProgram and include the ‘Pajama Program’ donation button or link to the website so we can continue hosting online programs for the children in our community!
