El día de los niños / El día de los libros


El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day), is a celebration of children, families, and reading. The holiday emphasizes the importance of literacy for children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

"Just 20 minutes a day reading aloud with young children strengthens relationships, encourages listening and language skills, promotes attention and curiosity, and establishes a strong reading foundation. These skills are essential for success in school and in life." Sources: Children's Reading Foundation and Becoming a Nation of Readers: The Report of the Commission on Reading.
