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.

The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

Happy birthday to Dr. Seuss, from all your friends at First Book!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You’re on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go.

Today is Read Across America Day – the birthday of Dr. Seuss. We love Dr. Seuss, and we know you all love him too. (In fact, we can prove it scientifically.)

Here are some other ways you can celebrate:
