Teachers urge adults to read to kids

March 1, 2002 By admin

It’s “Read Across America” day, sponsored by the nation’s largest teachers group, and ISEA president Jolene Franken says local leaders have volunteered to read to kids, to show how important reading is.Co-sponsors with the Education Association include groups from the Girl Scouts to the National Association of Broadcasters. You have to read to use a computer — so, is the Internet an incentive for kids to learn reading?She says it is, but there’s nothing like a book, and being able to read, alone or to a child or senior citizen. Local celebrities and community leaders have been tapped to read to kids in schools across Iowa, and Franken says she’ll be on the job, dressed as the “Cat in the Hat.”
