The National Education Association (NEA) Read Across America Day is a nationwide reading celebration that takes place annually on March 2—Dr. Seuss’s birthday! Across the country, thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate by bringing together kids, teens, and books. You can incorporate guides and activities to help celebrate reading with young students and family members. The following are two Dr. Seuss inspired activities that are fun for the entire family:
