Today is National Read Across America Day! A day dedicated to enjoying a good book and spreading the love of reading nationwide. According to Scholastic, children learn an average of 4,000 to 12,000 new words every year just from reading.

With all the benefits that reading brings, the National Education Association (NEA) founded Read Across America in 1998 to help motivate children and teens to read. Now, this annual holiday has even expanded into a year-round program to provide resources for all communities.
