Press Release Body = NEW YORK, NY (Aruntx Newswire) February 02, 2005 -- (Aruntx.com) Read any good books lately? If not, today is the day to do it. It is "Read Across America Day." Author Lilia Valentine of Aruntx Publishing Company, New York, wants to remind you of the National Educational Association "Read Across America Program".
Initially created as a one-day event to celebrate reading on Dr. Seuss birthday, March 2, the NEA "Read Across America" has grown into a nationwide initiative that promotes reading every day, celebrate the joy and importance of reading. Reading is a personal improvement goal, and the event is a way to reinforce the special day for students, families, and the community.

According to Author Valentine, "Secondary school students enjoy being read to, when they see adults reading, it provides a good example", and in the words of Dr. Seuss himself: "The more that you read the more things you will know. The more that you learn the more places you'll go." For years the Dr. Seuss rousing rhymes and curious characters have not only been entertaining kids but enticing them to make a habit of picking up a good book. Read Across America Day was started to celebrate the life of children's author Dr. Seuss. March 02, 2005 would have been his 101st birthday. Author Lilia Valentine and the Aruntx Publishing Company encourage parents and kids to keep up with their reading improvement goals year-round. http://www.nea.org
