National March into Literacy Month

I recently received an email stating that March is designated as ‘National March into Literacy Month’ and included a great infographic that I wanted to share with everyone.

The purpose of this initiative is to,

The month of March is considered National “March into Literacy” Month, and was created to promote reading among children. Literacy Month and its sponsor, Toys for Tots Literacy Program, work to increase opportunities for our nation’s most economically disadvantaged children by providing them with access to resources that can improve their ability to both read and communicate effectively. Since 2008, the literacy program has delivered more than 1 million books to hundreds of thousands of less fortunate children.

The infographic was created as a way to celebrate to children’s literature over the years and help students develop a lifelong desire for reading. What a fantastic way to share and foster the love for reading!
