Held on the anniversary of legendary children’s author Dr. Seuss’ birthday, Read Across America Day seeks to inspire readers about the wonders of reading. Good literacy skills are linked to academic success across the board. Dr. Seuss said, “The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” Read Across America Day takes place on March 2nd as part of National Reading Month, which takes place throughout March. #ReadAcrossAmerica
