'You're Never Too Old, Too Wacky, Too Wild To
Pick Up a Book and Read With a Child!': NEA's
Read Across America Day is March 2March 2, 2006, is NEA's ninth annual
Read Across America Day, spon-
sored by the National Education Associa-
tion (NEA) and Dr. Seuss Enterprises,
L.P., when millions of readers-both
young and old-will be in the company of
a good book.
Originally created as a one-day event
to celebrate the joy of reading, NEA's
Read Across America Day, which culmi-
nates every year on the birthday of the
beloved children's author Dr. Seuss, has
grown into NEA's Read Across America, a
nationwide initiative that promotes
reading every day.
Every year, parents, teachers, school
employees, students and community
members participate in the nation's largest
reading celebration by engaging in a wide
range of local activities that help exciteand encourage children of all ages to pick
up a book and read-on March 2 and
throughout the year. Last year, a new
Spanish language program, "Lea con La
NEA!" ("Read with NEA"), was launched
to reach out to the Latino community.
Next year marks a very special Read
Across America, when millions from
coast-to-coast will join NEA for an
extraordinary cause: to bring the gift of
reading to children who have been
affected by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and
Wilma. NEA's Read Across America will
launch the National Book Drive for Gulf
Coast to give reading relief by replenish-
ing public school libraries.
More information and a variety of
resources are available online at

" Downloadable tools, resources and press

Please mark NEA's Read Across
America Day on your calendar because,
"You're never too old, too wacky, too wild
to pick up a book and read with a child!"
