March Awareness Month
National Reading Month
National Reading Month is a nationwide celebration every March that encourages children, families, and communities to make reading a daily habit. At Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), we use this month to inspire joyful reading experiences, promote literacy engagement, and share free, accessible resources for educators and families. With 25 million children in the U.S. unable to read proficiently, this month-long celebration is an essential opportunity to support every child’s path to confidence, curiosity, and future success.
