Let’s Read Across America!

Mar02
2012
Rochee Jeffrey Written by Rochee Jeffrey

Happy Read Across America Day! NEA’s Read Across America Day is the largest reading event in the nation and a reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss.

Read Across America is an excellent opportunity for all members of our education family – parents, teachers, students, and community members – to encourage literacy and spread the joy of reading.

Visit http://www.nea.org/grants/886.htm to get the resources you need to participate in this awesome day. You’re never too old, too wacky or wild to pick up a book and read with a child! Get to reading.
