Celebrate Read Across America on March 2
NEA's Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading each March 2, the birthday of the beloved Dr. Seuss.
Thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers across the country will bring together kids and adults to celebrate the joys of reading. PSEA President Mike Crossey, Vice President Jerry Oleksiak, and other state and national leaders will visit schools and classrooms to celebrate reading.
Special theme for 2012:
NEA Partners with The Lorax
NEA's Read Across America campaign will showcase the Lorax book as well as NBC/Universal's The Lorax. The film opens nationwide March 2, 2012 and Universal, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, and Random House have joined NEA's Read Across America project, creating new posters, resources, and classroom guides for a Seussical celebration.
