It's Time for Read Across America

This year will mark the 19^th anniversary of the Read Across America Program initiated by the National Education Association (NEA). March 2^nd is the date for Read Across America Day as well as Dr. Seuss’ birthday. The program was established in conjunction with Random House Publishing and Dr. Seuss Enterprises. Throughout the country students are encourage to tread their favorite books and often teacher dress up as “ The Cat in The Hat,” probably the most widely read book of the day.

Other students often read to those in the younger grades and many participate in book reading contests and marathons. The possibilities are limitless.

Teachers can obtain information about Read Across America Day and get suggestions for activities, press releases, etc. by going to the NEA web site at readacrossamerica.org

To help with the celebration of Read Across America Day, Educator Partners in conjunction with GreatDay Bks LLC is offering a special sale on the adorable children’s book “Carrots for Charlie.” The book is a great read aloud story with excellent illustrations and a message about health and nutrition.
