I found this great video (below) for Read Across America. I am going to use it during the week and then have a silent reading period--for fun. Too often reading is assigned in school with an assessment such as a book report or organizer. Whatever happened to reading just for the love of reading? I hope it's not lost, because if it is, reading will eventually turn into another chore.

If the video doesn't play here is the link: http://www.blip.tv/file/3134777/
