As the United States celebrates National Read Across America Day, we reflect on the legacy of Dr. Seuss, the beloved children's author born as Theodor Seuss Geisel in 1904.
Established by the National Education Association (NEA) in 1998, the day coincides with his birthday and serves as the launch for a week-long celebration of books and literacy.
'The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go' — Dr. Seuss
This iconic line appears in I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!, first published in 1978.
Written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss using a specialized vocabulary, the book uses rhythmic verse and whimsical illustrations to encourage children to enjoy reading and practice it often.
The quote remains among the most widely shared lines from his work, especially during literacy drives.
At its core, the verse draws a direct link between reading and growth.
The more one reads, the more knowledge one gains, that can open doors to new experiences, careers, and ideas.
