This is the 16th year that the National Education Association has conducted its "Read Across America" day, a program that aims to motivate children and teens to read.
The NEA has hundreds of events across the country planned and it's asking people to share their reading photos, videos and ideas on the Read Across America Facebook fan page and cause page. You can also send your reading videos or school event coverage to SchoolTube.
Since Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat is the symbolic leader of the day, we thought we'd ask our readers about their favorite Dr. Seuss character.
Take our poll and tell us in the comments.
