Schools across Webster Parish will celebrate Read Across America next week with activities aimed at encouraging literacy among students.
Parents are invited to participate in planned events at their child’s school as part of the nationwide initiative. Oreata Banks, federal programs supervisor for the Webster Parish School Board, encourages parents to check with their child’s school for details on scheduled activities.
Read Across America, an annual event promoted by the National Education Association, is designed to foster a love of reading in children. Schools typically mark the occasion with guest readers, themed activities, and book-related events.
For more information, parents are advised to contact their child’s school directly.
