In September 2024, everyone in the United States is being encouraged to celebrate National Literacy Month, a special time to focus on how important reading is for both people and communities. The government hopes that schools, libraries, and other groups will help by planning fun reading activities, even though there's no extra money given for these events.

S. RES. 852 is a special plan from the Senate to make October 20, 2024, a day to learn how important it is for little kids to read and understand words. It asks people, schools, and communities to do fun things on that day to help kids love reading and become better at it.
