Celebrating Dr. Seuss Birthday & Read Across America Week

March 2nd marks the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss, and with it comes Read Across America Week—a nationwide celebration that encourages children to dive into the joy of reading. Originally launched in 1998 by the National Education Association (NEA), this annual event is more than just a tribute to Dr. Seuss—it’s a call to build a lifelong love of books.

Celebrate Read Across America Week with Crafts, Treats & Dr. Seuss-Inspired Fun!

As parents and educators, it’s the perfect time to make reading magical for our little learners. At our house (or in the classroom), we bring the pages of Dr. Seuss to life with Seuss-themed crafts, whimsical snacks, and reading goodie bags that spark excitement all week long!

Here are a few fun and easy ways to celebrate:

🎨 DIY Crafts: Make "Thing 1 and Thing 2" puppets or create a Cat in the Hat paper plate mask.

🍓 Themed Snacks: Think "Green Eggs and Ham" treats or red-and-white striped fruit skewers!

🎁 Goodie Bags: Fill them with Dr. Seuss pencils, mini books, and bookmarks to encourage reading at home.

Why It Matters: Read Across America promotes literacy and builds foundational reading skills, especially in young children. When we celebrate reading in a playful, engaging way, kids are more likely to view books as something fun—not a chore.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver, this week is a great opportunity to connect with your child and make reading part of your daily routine. So, grab a book, put on your Cat in the Hat hat, and get ready to rhyme your way through a week of literacy fun!
