Read Across America: Book Trivia Bingo

As part of Charleston County School District's Read Across America Week, Itinerant Literate is hosting a trivia bingo game at Commonhouse Aleworks for local educators to meet, mingle, and test their literary trivia skills.

Grab a beverage and a bingo card, and listen out for clues about the book titles on your card. Like with normal bingo rules, whoever gets 5 in a row first, wins! You'll need to brush up on your book-related trivia to be on top of your game for this literary bingo twist.

ACLU SC will also be on hand with information about their regional and local initiatives.

About RAA

The National Education Association Read Across America is the nation’s largest celebration of reading. This year-round program focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources that are about everyone, for everyone.

The titles and resources featured by NEA’s Read Across America include books that students can see themselves reflected in, as well as books that allow readers to see a world or a character that might be different than them.

Readers who feel included, recognized, and a part of the world are engaged readers. We hope that you’ll be able to share these recommended titles—and many others—to celebrate Read Across America in March and throughout the year. We invite you to:

1. Read books with kids and use Read Across America’s resources to daily promote the message there is room in our community for all readers. The world—and books—are filled with many different kinds of people. Getting to know them is interesting, exciting, and fun!
2. Use Read Across America to help kids enjoy and relate to what they read by linking books and reading to other experiences in their lives and on the school year calendar. When everything from your Hispanic Heritage Month celebration to the 100th day of school to the science fair to Memorial Day includes books, guest readers, activities, and conversation about reading, you raise awareness about the importance, value, and fun of reading throughout the year.
3. Make your community the place where Read Across America is on everyone’s calendar. When people make the time to read with children, children get the message that reading is important. Parents, members of your community, and local celebrities who make time to read at monthly or annual Read Across America celebrations help motivate kids to read and celebrate the diversity in their community and our country.
