Every year the National Education Association (NEA)

celebrates the birthday of beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss, with a reading

motivation and awareness program called Read Across America. This program

calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading. NEA’s Read

Across America was born on March 2, 1998 and was the largest

celebration of reading this country has ever seen. Research has shown that

motivating children to read is an important factor in student achievement and

creating lifelong successful readers.

An amazing selection of Dr. Seuss books will be available

for purchase at the downtown Bookstore Read Across America event. Parents

can reserve their child’s spot by calling 203-255-7756 Ext 501 or emailing FairfieldUBookstoreEvents@gmail.com.

This event is free and open to the

public.
