READ 4 FUN: More than 120 United Way volunteers will read to more than 200 kindergarten through second-grade classrooms in 19 elementary buildings across Trumbull County today to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday and Read Across America, which is a part of United Way of Trumbull County’s “Read 4 Fun” program. It is one of three programs under the United Way’s Reading Great by 8 Literacy Initiative.

The program will reach nearly 4,300 students today. Volunteers will spend about a half hour in each classroom reading either a Dr. Seuss book or select books chosen for schools. Students will enjoy conversations about the story, illustrations and the author. Many volunteers plan to dress in Dr. Seuss attire as their way of making it an exciting and fun reading experience.
