Start Reading: It’s Read Across America!
National Education Association’s Read Across America is here, and millions of kids, teens, and adults will be joining America’s largest reading celebration. We’re doing our part to get involved, which is why we asked some of your kids’ favorite TV characters to give us their reading suggestions.
Sure, TV’s no replacement for reading, but the bottom line is, learning never has to stop when the TV’s on.
