    Recommended Read Aloud Booklist for March Compiled by Jan Powell Curriculum Coordinator Literacy Programs Screen Actors Guild Foundation The month of March has several special themes for choosing books to read to students. Here are some sample ideas for March read alouds. In many cases the authors chosen have additional titles. Special themes: Read Across America (Celebrating Dr. Seuss’s Birthday); Recent Award-Winning Books; St. Patrick’s Day Celebrating Dr. Seuss’s Birthday March 1st is this year’s ‘official’ big day for celebrating Read Across America, sponsored by the National Education Association and its partners, with many special events planned. March 2, 2013, marks the 109th birthday of children’s book author Theodor Seuss Geisel. However, school districts and schools often plan special days or weeks during March that focus on literacy and the importance of reading in students’ learning lives. There are too many books by Dr. Seuss to list all of them, but books should be easy to find because there are so many. A helpful resource for other materials is: http://www.nea.org/grants/read-across-america-downloadables.html st Classic Dr. Seuss books for PreK – 1 : The Foot Book One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish Fox in Socks Dr. Seuss’s ABC Green Eggs and Ham I Can Read With My Eyes Shut Cat in the Hat Longer Dr. Seuss books: The Lorax Horton Hears a Who Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories Did I Ever tell You How Lucky You Are?
