The Art of “Read Every Day”, Scholastic #Giveaway

A few months ago, Scholastic asked 13 children’s book illustrators to show us what the statement “Read Every Day. Lead a Better Life.” means to them. The result is a stunning collection of illustrations from some of our young readers’ biggest literary heroes: Dav Pilkey, Jeff Kinney, Kadir Nelson, Yuyi Morales, and Kazu Kibuishi, to name a few.

In addition to the beautiful posters, they’ve created companion educational resources for teachers to use in their classrooms: “The Art of Read Every Day”

Visit The Art of Read Every Day and you’ll discover the following:

• Artwork from 13 children’s book illustrators (see the full list here)
• Videos of the artists reading aloud and speaking about their artistic processes.
• Discussion guides with writing and art prompts for students (grades K-2, 3-5)
• An opportunity to purchase a 2014 desk calendar that features the entire collection of art. You can also purchase the individual poster art as well. (Net proceeds go to a nonprofit partner, Read Out and Read.)

Enter to Win

Look at all of the posters, then leave a comment saying which one you’d like (make sure you log it in the widget below as well). You’ll win two copies, one to keep and one to give to a teacher.
