Did you know that today (March 2nd) is "Read Across America Day"? And the Big Cow knows it! He wants everyone else to learn to read.
The first “Read Across America Day” was held on March 2nd, 1998. It was set to coincide with the birthday of Dr. Seuss.
In 1954, Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) wrote The Cat in the Hat using the 236 words that were deemed important for first-graders to learn. He had just found out that children weren’t reading much because they found most children’s books boring.
“Reading
is the moment the alphabet stops marching and starts dancing.”
