[Ohio-talk] Read Across America

[richard payne]

The Miami  valley chapter  and united way will partner to do this.
We will have chapter members and students from  Wright state teaming together and going to a local school.
  
The National Education Association annually sponsors Read Across America. Now in its twelfth year, the program focuses on motivating children to read, in addition to helping them master basic skills. 
The nationwide reading celebration takes place each year  on or near March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Across the country, thousands of schools, libraries, community centers, and more participate by bringing together kids and books, and you can too!

Your reading event can be as simple or elaborate as time and inclination allow. Whether you choose to scale up or down, keep in mind the basic premise and it's almost sure to be a success:

On March 2, the National Education Association is calling for every child to be reading in the company of a caring adult.
