Read Across America

Every year Read 20 celebrates the birthday of Theodor Seuss “Ted” Geisel, by participating in Read Across America! (usually the full week containing or closest to March 2nd). We partner with schools and other educational organizations to bring volunteer readers into classrooms across Hamilton County to share the love of Dr. Suess’s marvelously inventive, enlightening, and entertaining stories. Would you like to volunteer and bring these stories to life for students in our community? Does your school need volunteers to read with students during ‘Suess Week?’ Give us a call or email: 423 443-2527 or stewartp@hamiltontn.gov  Thanks!

Due to the Covid19 situation we will not be actively engaging volunteers within the school system until community transmission of the virus has subsided. 

However, we have made available several videos of Dr. Seuss books read aloud on YouTube – check them out in the links below!
