In honor of Dr. Seuss' (Theodor Seuss Geisel) birthday (2 March), March is designated as National Reading Month – a month to motivate people of all ages to read every day.

Reading is fun and has many benefits, regardless of your age. It's a key component of education and professional development. It also has immediate and long-lasting health benefits such as increased cognitive function, memory, vocabulary, empathy, and decreased levels of stress.

Throughout this month, join Team AgLearn to support our colleagues, community of parents, caregivers, educators, and volunteers to engage and motivate the readers in your lives. National Reading Month is an important opportunity to encourage reading every day and to foster a love of reading for people of all ages and backgrounds.
