Literacy Soars this Summer

As we transition into the summer season, learning continues beyond the end of the school year. Wild Bird Adventures will keep your young learners engaged with excellent reading material throughout the summer. Over the next two months, you can participate in our bird conservation programs at various libraries as part of their Summer Reading Programs. This week you can find us at the Spring Branch Memorial Library on Wednesday at 2PM. In the coming weeks, we will be visiting more branch libraries in Fort Bend County and Houston Public Libraries. You can also join us for another free event at John Paul Landing Park in Harris County on July 5th at 10:30 AM. Registration is open here: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/hcprecinct4/activity/search/detail/29789?onlineSiteId=0&locale=en-US&from_original_cui=true

During our presentations, we love to get kids inspired to read more about birds and bird conservation. Here are some of our favorite books we will be showcasing this summer:

Bird Count by Susan Edwards Richmond about a young girl excited to help with a Christmas Bird Count

What if Night? by Paul Bogard about the importance of darkness and night to all kinds of creatures including us

Warbler Wave by April Pulley Sayre will help kids experience the amazing world of warblers

Bird Girl by Jill Esbaum tells the story of Gene Stratton-Porter an American naturalist, writer and nature photographer born in 1863
