State Representative Nicole Klarides-Ditria continued an early March tradition and celebrated Read Across America Day by reading Look Up! by Nathan Bryon to students in Mrs. Ciccone’s 3rd grade class at Laurel Ledge Elementary School.

Read Across America is a nationwide reading celebration that takes place annually during the first week of March 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. Klarides-Ditria is a longtime proponent of literacy education and volunteers annually to share the joy and excitement of reading to children throughout the district!
