Read Across America Day
By admin | February 28, 2019
From the Office of Senator Jack Reed:
“In an effort to improve literacy, promote a lifelong love of books, and encourage children to explore a world of discovery and new ideas through reading, Senator Jack Reed and Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) are once again leading a national effort to designate March 2nd as “Read Across America Day.” Reed and Collins are introducing a bi-partisan Senate resolution encouraging parents to read with their children and honoring beloved children’s author Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, for his efforts to make reading fun for kids of all ages. This year, the 22nd annual Read Across America Day coincides with what would have been Geisel’s 115th birthday. “
A Read Across America Read-A-Thon will be held on Saturday, March 2 at the Warwick Mall and will be one of many reading events taking place across RI this week.
