February is Black History Month in the United States—a time to celebrate the achievements of African Americans and recognize their central role in U.S. history. Our Famous People category includes the biographies of some of the most influential Black leaders who shaped US history. These are perfect read-aloud books for young children to learn and be inspired by these leaders.


The Power of Reading Aloud!

5th February is World Read Aloud Day. Did you know that reading aloud to your child is one of the most powerful ways to build strong reading skills? The latest Nation's Report Card shows that reading scores across the country remain low, with many children struggling to meet grade-level expectations. But there's something simple and enjoyable that can make a big difference—reading aloud!

Smart Kidz Club's vast collection of read-aloud books is designed to engage young readers, boost comprehension, and support struggling learners. With human-narrated audio, children can listen to fluent reading while following along, reinforcing essential literacy skills in a fun and interactive way.

Whether it's a bedtime story, a favorite picture book, or a fun nonfiction read, your voice—and Smart Kidz Club—can help your child build a strong foundation in reading. Our Reading Reminders and Daily Reading Goals can help make reading a daily habit for your child!
