Read Across America 2024

Read Across America motivates students to read, bring the joys of reading to them, and make all children feel valued and welcome.

Launched in 1998 by the National Education Association (NEA) and guided by a committee of educators, NEA’s Read Across America is the nation’s largest celebration of reading. This year-round program focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources that are about everyone, for everyone.
