IRA plans Literacy Day celebration

The International Reading Association has planned an exciting event in Washington, DC, on September 8 to mark the observance of International Literacy Day. Through shared reading of two novels, the "Reading Across Continents" project will unite students in Washington with students in Nigeria and Ghana. The event will feature participation by authors of the "Reading Across Continents" books--award-winning author and former U.S. Teacher of the Year Sharon Draper (Copper Sun) and noted Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Purple Hibiscus).
