PUEBLO – Two News5 personalities took part in Read Across America week by reading to students in Southern Colorado.
It’s like an annual tradition for @KOAAAndyKoen and I. We go to Carlisle ES in Pueblo, and Andy reads a Dr. Seuss book to students for #ReadAcrossAmerica. @KOAA pic.twitter.com/QRR2ymfDXf

Read Across America urges kids to celebrate reading every year on March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss, as a way to get kids excited about reading every day.
The National Education Association started planning the first year of the program in 1997, and the first celebration was in 1998.
