Read Across America is a celebration of reading held around March 2 each year. For 1st graders, it is a week of falling in love with books! Kids read and listen to stories, practice word families and rhyming words, retell favorite books and share what they love about reading. Many classes celebrate with Dr. Seuss books, and lots of schools now add books from a wide range of authors too. The click moment comes when a first grader reads a whole book on their own and wants to read it again.
First graders are brand-new readers. These moves make the week both fun and real practice.
Use a playful rhyming book to collect words from one family, like op: hop, pop, top, stop. Kids build and read the words, then hunt for them in the story. Rhyming books are perfect for word family practice.
