📚Happy Read Across America Week (and Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!)📚

Each year, National Read Across America Week is celebrated during the first week of March. The annual event is part of Read Across America, an initiative on reading creative by the National Education Association.
Here are some great ways to inspire reading in children:

📚 Keep books everywhere you spend time. Put them in the car, in every room of the house, and tuck them in backpacks and purses. Make them easily accessible.

📚Visit the library often. Knowing how to use the library and learning the benefits of a library fosters a love of reading as well as genuine respect for the services libraries provide.

📚Get caught reading. Children imitate what they see the adults around them do. Whether they see you read a magazine, newspaper, or novel, let them know reading is the cool thing to do.

📚Read to your children. No matter their age, reading aloud strengthens their vocabulary and language skills. It also opens up opportunities for discussion.

📚Have your children read to you, too. You never know what you might learn!
