any activity that excites chil- dren to read, including “Read Across America.”
“I think it builds that love for reading and just shows them that it [reading] is ev- erywhere in the world, in ev- erything that we do.”
“Read Across America” was established by the Na- tional Education Associa- tion, with the idea to tie it to the birthday of Dr. Seuss, one of the most popular au- thors in children’s literature. The first celebration was launched in 1998.
“Motivating children to read is an important factor in student achievement and creating lifelong successful readers,” according to the NEA website about the read- ing program.
“Research has shown that children who are moti- vated and spend more time reading do better in school.”
Seuss’ real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel. His many other books included “Green Eggs and Ham,” “How the Grinch Stole

The tension only intensi- fied in the battle for the Val- ley title – RHS had to again fight through penalty kicks to nail the victory, with a 5-4 kick win over Redwood High.
The team members wore their championship baseball caps to the Feb. 27 meeting, where they were applauded for their achievement.
For Eric Velarde, the team’s head coach, it’s a dou- bly satisfying moment. He is a member of Reedley High’s last boys soccer team to win a Valley title, in 2011.
(Sports Editor Chris Agu- irre will have a story about Velarde in The Exponent’s March 15 edition. RHS’ first game in the state playoffs was March 6 at Sotomayor High School in Los Angeles. A score was not available by The Exponent’s deadline.)
Velarde is a 2011 Reed- ley High graduate. He then attended Fresno Pacific Uni- versity, where he played soc-

Hailey and Emma after the event said the “Read Across America” activities help inspire them to read even more than they already enjoy reading.
Hailey, for example, said she was reading Baby-Sitters Club books and had read Dr. Seuss books. She and Emma said they enjoyed all the “Read Across America” events at their school.
Emma said these activi- ties helped get her “excited about reading because Dr. Seuss has been making books for a long time. It’s interest- ing because his books are so long, and they’re interesting to read. That’s why I like reading.”
