What is Read Across America?
"Launched in 1998 by the National Education Association (NEA) and guided by a committee of educators, NEA's Read Across America is the nation's largest celebration of reading. This year-round program focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources that are about everyone, for everyone."

This year at PAAM, we will be looking that the contiguous United States and the 4 time zones: Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Monday through Thursday we will look at 1 time zone and students are encouraged to read books or learn about the states in that time zone.
