Join the Nationwide Read 25 Day!

Written By Jody Vaynshtok

At Sound Speech & Hearing Clinic, we believe in the power of reading, not just as a tool for learning, but as a way to connect, relax, grow, and explore. That’s why we’re excited to share a simple, joyful movement we’re embracing on June 25, 2025 with the Read 25 Challenge by author and happiness expert Gretchen Rubin.

The concept is simple: read for 25 minutes silently by yourself or with others on June 25th. That’s it. No pressure to finish a certain number of books or log your reading hours…just 25 minutes.

Whether you’re flipping through picture books, getting lost in a novel, or catching up on that stack of magazines by your bed, reading counts.
