Read Across America Day, Dr. Seuss’s Birthday, is less than a week away now! Are you ready to celebrate with your class? Because Dr Seuss’s official birthday, March 2nd, is on a Sunday this year it will be celebrated by educators on Monday, March 3rd. Did you know that the NEA has also awarded Read Across America events grants to 18 state affiliates for Read Across America events and activities? See what celebrations may be happening in your area. No matter where you may be located, the NEA provides this free Read Across America 2014 Hats Off to Reading Classroom Activity Guide.
Another fun way for your class to celebrate reading and the birthday of Dr. Seuss is my original biography, Second Grade Level K Reader Dr. Seuss - Best-Selling Children's Author.
Someone else who knew a lot about the power of language and reading was Helen Keller. In another of my original biographies, Helen Keller: Spelling W-A-T-E-R your students will learn about the special life of Helen Keller, who overcame being blind, deaf, and mute to reach many accomplishments. This third-grade level O reader comes with five companion worksheets which reinforce literacy skills involving reading, language, spelling, and writing. Specific concepts, skills, and vocabulary targeted in this reader are listed on the first page of the story.
This story is one of the books in the collection "Famous Women in History - Leveled Books for Grades 2 - 4" which features stories about eight women and their contributions to history. These books are a great selection for March, Women's History Month!
