About National Reading Month
National Reading Month is celebrated not just to promote the love for reading but also to develop communication and learning.
The National Education Association (NEA) has been leading the Read Across America initiative since 1998. Read Across America Day calls upon everyone to read and engage with children to make reading a more fun and interactive experience. Libraries, schools, book clubs, and communities organize events to celebrate and promote reading.
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has a special opportunity for children and their families who engage with Buzzword to get free tickets to “Buzzword Day at the Theatre!” This unique event features a “Big Bubble Bonanza” showing at the Byham Theater.
Pre-registration is required. The Cultural Trust has 100 free tickets (4 tickets per family) available for this event, which include a free snack and transportation (from The Homewood Early Learning Hub & Family Center OR The Kingsley Association to the Byham Theatre). Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis.
When:
Sunday, March 19, at 2 p.m. (transportation departs at 1 p.m.)
Caregivers and parents can register for this special event online*, by attending a Buzzword programming event on March 1 (this event has passed and registration is closed), or by calling (412) 456-2695.
