Happy “Read Across America Day!” ~Bette A. Stevens https://www.4writersandreaders.com
As writers, we know the importance reading has made in our lives. That is why holidays that support reading for kids are a big deal with me–well, that and the fact I’m also a teacher!

This coincides with the birthday of Dr. Seuss, one of the most beloved and iconic children’s writers and perfect for any read-aloud.
Here are some great reading websites for students K-5:

thanks for sharing these lists, Bette. We can never read enough or encourage children to read more than they do. It’s my favorite pastime when I am not writing or in between writing. 🤗

I love Starfall on desktops. Their app–not nearly as good.

Wonderful reminder. I can’t imagine not having a book on the go, think I would panic.
Going on holiday means …Books … come high on the packing list.
I admit most travel reading goes on my Kindle as the weight is greatly reduced..

Great resources! I loved this day as a teacher, and we read Dr. Seuss books for a week straight! Bette, you won the drawing through my blog last month, but I must have tried contacting you with an incorrect email address. Please use the “contact” button on my blog to let me know the correct address and whether you’d like the Starbucks or Amazon $5 e-gift card!!!
