Participate in Literacy Movement

PTA is proud to encourage an appreciation for books and cultures. This February, join more than a million readers in making literacy a significant part of Black History Month activities by participating in the 19th National African American Read-In. A Read-In is a gathering of people—family, friends, school members, and everyone in the community—to read books authored by African Americans. On Sunday, February 3, plan to read with your family—during halftime of the Super Bowl if necessary—or to participate in an event hosted by a local library, bookstore, or other community organization. Talk to your PTA and school about Read-In plans for Monday, February 4.For more information about this event, or for suggested reading lists, can be found online.The African American Read-In is sponsored by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English and by the National Council of Teachers of English.
