NEA’s Read Across America Day is almost here, and teachers and students across the country are busy making plans to join the nation’s largest reading celebration on March 3, 2008. One teacher is doing it up in a big way – she is sponsoring an online collaborative project where students from across the country and world are joining together to determine their favorite book written by Dr. Seuss.

My Favorite Dr. Seuss Book

Jennifer DeTrolio, a 4th grade teacher from Deerfield Terrace School No. Nine, Linden, New Jersey has developed a collaborative online project in conjunction with the yearly Read Across America Day. Students and teachers are reading books during the month of February and this year, voting for their favorite Dr. Seuss book. Each class will submit one class vote by 3 PM on March 1, 2008. Ms. DeTrolio will analyze the votes and post the results on the website. This is the third year she has coordinated the project.
