Today is Drop Everything And Read Day!

April 12 is known as D.E.A.R Day! D.E.A.R. stands for “Drop Everything and Read,” a national month-long celebration of reading designed to remind folks of all ages to make reading a priority activity in their lives. It is also author Beverly Cleary’s birthday! D.E.A.R. programs have been held nationwide on April 12th in honor of Cleary’s birthday, since she first wrote about D.E.A.R. in Ramona Quimby, Age 8.
