Celebrating Dr. Seuss's Birthday with Read Across America
I am a huge fan of Dr. Seuss. I have read nearly all of his books, including books that show and explain the political side of Dr. Seuss. In honor of his 112th birthday here is a short YouTube video to say Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss. Attached are several articles with suggested ways to celebrate his birthday on March 2nd.
5 Ways to Celebrate Dr. Seuss's Birthday
Hats Off to Dr. Seuss's Birthday
NEA's Read Across America This site provides many educator resources for ideas to celebrate including NEA's 2016 Read Across America Classroom Activity Guide.
In addition to celebrating Read Across America, simply Promoting a Love of Reading at Home for Students in Grades K-5, offers a dozen ideas to promote a love of reading. Guys Read (a website to promote reading to boys by Jon Sciezka along with a suggested book list), and Read Kiddo Read (to promote reading to all students by James Patterson. This site was in response to encouraging his own son to love reading) are two more fantastic resources to promote a love of reading. As you may look for ideas to share with students and parents, consider these to celebrate reading and to help develop a love of reading!
