Rep. Duff Reads to Bethel Children

'Celebrating reading is so vital for our children and such a significant part of their learning,' says Rep. Duff.

From NEA: In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, Rep. Duff joined in the nationwide celebration by reading to the kindergarten students of Mrs. Callahan class.

“I had a terrific time reading to Ms. Callahan’s class today for Read Across America,” said Rep. Duff. “Celebrating reading is so vital for our children and such a significant part of their learning.”

Launched in 1998 by NEA, Read Across America is the nation’s largest celebration of reading, focusing coast-to-coast attention on the importance and the joys of reading! While NEA’s Read Across America provides resources to keep kids reading 365 days a year, events and activities—with red and white hatted readers—bring reading excitement on Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Commemorate the 21st anniversary with your own adaptation of these awesome archived activities from Read Across America celebrations of years past.
