State Representative Craig Fishbein continued his early March tradition and celebrated Read Across America Day by reading to students in Mrs. Nancy Kozlik's 4th grade class at Middlefield's John Lyman Elementary School. 

Rep. Fishbein read What Should Danny Do?  by Ganit and Adir Levy, a choose-your-own-adventure-style book that allows the reader to choose how to proceed at certain points, and with nine possible endings.  When a choice was presented, Rep. Fishbein let the students pick which way to go. They had such a good time Rep. Fishbein read it a second time and the students chose a completely different story and ending for Danny!

Read Across America Day is a nationwide reading celebration that takes place annually on March 2nd with the goal of sharing the joy of reading and promoting early childhood literacy with elementary school children.

According to its website, The National Education Association seeks to build a nation of readers through its signature program, NEA’s Read Across America. For more information about this great event please visit www.nea.org/readacross.

Rep. Fishbein is a longtime proponent of literacy education and volunteers annually to share the joy and excitement of reading to children throughout the district!
