ADVISORY: First Lady Deal to kick off Read Across Georgia Month
Gov. Nathan Deal and First Lady Sandra Deal will celebrate Get Georgia Reading Day and kick off Read Across Georgia Month at the State Capitol on Monday, March 5, at 10:30 a.m.
Get Georgia Reading Day highlights the importance of reading and literacy skills for future academic growth and success in the workforce. Launched in 2012, Read Across Georgia Month supports Gov. Deal's Grade-Level Reading Initiative, which aims to have all Georgia third-graders reading at grade-level or better by the completion of the third grade.
Mrs. Deal will preview an unreleased children's book that was written, illustrated, printed and published in Georgia. In partnership with the Georgia Forestry Foundation, the Get Georgia Reading Campaign will provide every public elementary school and public library system in the state with a copy of the book. In upcoming classroom visits, Mrs. Deal will also share with Georgia students "Behind the Little Red Door," a new book by Georgia author and Zac Brown Band guitarist Coy Bowles.
