The National Education Association sponsors this national day, and so does Dr. Suess!
- A Book A Month. You can encourage your audience to read a book a month, but keep in mind that it isn't the number of books they consume, it's the quality. So if they are happily reading a book a month that they enjoy, keep pushing.
- Keep It Fun. Kids get disheartened and disenchanted when forced to read an academic book. Furthermore, they get even more disgruntled when forced to follow a teacher's pacing rather than their own. For today, encourage the children of America to read something THEY like or personally choose. There is time for educational and mandatory reading-- don't make today one of them.
