Advocates for literacy will come together Wednesday to join area students in the celebration of a famous children’s author’s birthday and the joy of reading.
Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness campaign by the National Education Association that calls for children in every community to celebrate reading on the birthday of beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss.
According to NEA officials, the purpose of Read Across America is to motivate children to read by demonstrating its importance as it relates to student achievement.
