Read Across America Day celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday is Saturday, March 2nd.  This year many schools will be celebrating this day on Friday, March 1st.  We have created some activities to help get you started with your celebration.

Dr. Seuss Workmat   This printable includes a maze, a wordsearch and a spot for kids to draw their favorite Dr. Seuss character.

My Favorite Dr. Seuss Book   After sharing many books, have students draw a picture to show their favorite.  This will make a great classroom display with little work from you!
