The National Education Association sponsors this national day, and so does Dr. Seuss!
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.
