The resolution highlights that Read Across America Day is celebrated on the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss and aims to encourage reading among children by providing resources and activities for NEA members, parents, caregivers, and children to promote literacy throughout the year. The legislative body affirms its commitment to raising awareness about initiatives that positively impact New York State citizens and formally requests that the Governor issue a proclamation recognizing this special day, with a copy of the resolution to be transmitted to Governor Hochul.
