Read Across America

Read Across America

Get ready for a summer adventure with Read Across America. This reading program has been put together by Storyline Online, the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's award-winning children's literacy website.

Take a journey with lovable characters and exciting stories from each of the 50 United States. Read along with your own book at home or listen as the books are read aloud. Read Across America is a great way to keep kids engaged with reading and learning throughout the summer break.

Begin with Florida's story, Snappsy the Alligator, that is read aloud by David Harbour from the Netflix series "Stranger Things." Meet Snappsy, an misunderstood alligator who has a penchant for foods that start with the letter "P," including peanut butter, pudding, pitas, pretzels, and pears. Listen and watch what happens when he decides to throw a party to improve his reputation with other animals.

Listen to Florida's featured story by clicking the video below, then check out the other books as you "travel" across the different regions of the U.S.A.
