At Cleveland Elementary School, teachers want to instill the love of reading at an early age, whether it’s for Fancy Nancy or The Cat In The Hat. “We want children to connect with the characters. We encourage them to choose a character they really love,” second grade teacher Joy Hughey said.
For the annual Character Day, students dressed up as their favorite character from fiction, and created a poster based on the book that the character is from. In addition to sharing their love of reading with adults and with other students, kids also developed public speaking skills.
