Celebrate Read Across America Week 2025: A Nation of Readers

Every year, Read Across America Week inspires a love of reading in children and adults alike. Taking place from March 03-07, 2025, this national celebration, led by the National Education Association (NEA), encourages communities to engage with books, storytelling and literacy-based activities.

This year’s theme, ”Explore New Worlds Through Reading,” highlights the power of books to transport readers to different times, places and perspectives. Schools, libraries and organizations across the country will host read-alouds, book fairs and author visits, fostering excitement around literacy.

How can you take part? Pick up a new book, share a story with a child or participate in local reading events. Whether it’s diving into a fantasy novel, exploring a historical biography or enjoying a picture book, Read Across America Week is a reminder that reading opens doors to endless possibilities.
