Growing Active Readers (formally iGrow Readers) is a series of book-based lessons to help young children understand the benefits of making healthy decisions involving nutrition and physical activity. The program uses 31 children’s books to begin the learning. After reading a book as a group, the children participate in nutrition and physical activities that re-enforce the lessons learned in the books. Growing Active Readers can be used for children in Pre-K to 3rd grade. Companion parent newsletters encourage reading and healthy lifestyles at home.
