Drop Everything And Read Day is April 12, Beverly Cleary's birthday! I started celebrating Drop Everything and Read Day a few years ago. Before that, I used to give away books in honor of National Library Week; this seemed like more fun. Now I give my students' kids books for Drop Everything and Read Day - I give out Beverly Cleary books to the older sibs where appropriate, of course. And I give out bookmarks that I made, since even the kids and adults who have never seen Ramona love bookmarks. Here is my bookmark for this year, adapted from material from the DEAR site.
