NEA's Read Across America and Dr. Seuss's birthday are March 2, 2010.

Sylvan Learning and the National Education Association (NEA) urge all families to join in this important and worthwhile reading celebration.

Sylvan's goal is to ensure every child in North America reads on March 2nd.

Here are ways you can celebrate:

• Attend a Sylvan reading event near you. Click onto the interactive map of the United States and Canada to find a Sylvan reading event in your local community.

• Send an eCard. This is a fun way to encourage friends and family to celebrate reading on March 2nd. Send a note scheduling time to read with your child, or send a note recommending a good book.

• Celebrate the importance of literacy! Children in grades K-8 can visit www.BookAdventure.com to choose books from more than 7,000 titles, take short comprehension quizzes, and redeem accumulated points for small prizes.
