Celebrate National Read Across America Day with Books & Snacks!

There’s something magical about getting lost in a good book—especially as a child. Books ignite the imagination, spark curiosity, and open up new worlds of adventure. That’s why National Read Across America Day is such an important celebration!

Held every year on March 2nd, this day was created to encourage kids to develop a love for reading. Inspired by Dr. Seuss’s birthday, Read Across America has evolved beyond rhyming stories and whimsical characters—it’s a nationwide movement to make reading fun, engaging, and accessible for all kids.

At Skout Organic, we believe that a good book deserves a great snack, so we’re sharing a few of our team’s childhood favorites—paired with our delicious, organic kids’ snacks!

How to Make Reading Exciting for Kids

Want to raise a little bookworm? Here are a few simple ways to get kids excited about reading:

📖 Make it interactive – Act out stories, use fun voices, or let your child turn the pages.
📚 Follow their interests – Whether it’s animals, adventure, or outer space, find books that match what they love.
🍎 Pair books with snacks – A cozy reading session is even better with a delicious, healthy treat!
🎭 Create a reading nook – A comfy corner with pillows, blankets, and a stack of books makes reading feel extra special.
🔁 Reread favorites – Kids love repetition! If they ask for the same book over and over, embrace it.
