Reading Daze

Read Across America, sponsored by National Education Association, takes place on Dr. Seuss's (Theodore Geisel) birthday. Sometimes schools look for people to read aloud, so perhaps this might be a good outreach for us. We could also give kids a certificate for participating.

Drop Everything and Read Day is also sponsored by the National Education Association along with the Parent Teacher Association, the Association for Library Service to Children (a division of the American Library Association), Reading Rockets, The General Federation of Women’s Clubs, the Newspaper Association of America Foundation, First Book, HarperCollins Children’s Books, and Ramona Quimby. As you might guess from the last sponsor, it takes place on Beverly Cleary's birthday. Let's start thinking about active participation in this one, too.
