(2022·河北张家口期末)Read Across America Day
Read Across America(RAA)is a day held annually on March 2nd that encourages children in
every community to read and also encourages parents and teachers to celebrate the joy of reading.
It's a holiday that has been celebrated since 1998 and falls on the same day as children's book
author Dr Seuss'birthday.
This holiday dates back to May of 1997.This is when a small group of people at the National
Education Association (NEA)came up with the idea to create a day of the year that celebrates
reading among children.They reasoned that since many school football programmes could get
children engaged in the sport through pep rallies(鼓舞士气的集会),then why couldn't the same
thing be done for reading?So they decided to turn to a Read Across America programme that was
officially launched on March 2,1998,and ever since it has continued to grow in size.Today,more
than 50 national nonprofit and association sponsors (and more than 3.3 million NEA
members support the effort every year.
This holiday is celebrated in numerous ways.All over the country,libraries,schools and
community centres hold special Read Across America events that promote reading in their
communities.Teachers also develop special events on this day to encourage their students to read.
The NEA also sponsors reading round tables and has an online store that allows people to buy
everything they need for their RAA celebrations.This includes Dr Seuss hats,RAA bookmarks.
special RAA flash drives and even RAA mugs.
While recommended student reading lists vary from community to community,there are some
books that always seem to pop up.Below is a partial()list of some of the books read by
elementary,middle school and high school students.
