About NEA's Read Across America...

Read Across America Day is celebrated annually on or near March 2, the birth date of popular and prolific children's author Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel). Instituted by The National Education Association (NEA) in 1998, Read Across America very soon lived up to its billing as the largest celebration of reading this country has ever seen.

The goal of Read Across America Day is not to encourage reading on one day each year, it is an effort to encourage the development of the habit of reading. Teachers.Net is proud to partner with NEA in this worthy effort!

Read Across America is a project of the National Education Association.
