Miami Dolphins Team Up with Dr. Seuss Enterprises to Inspire Students to Read
A Day of Reading and Fun at Miami Gardens Elementary School
The Miami Dolphins are partnering with Dr. Seuss Enterprises to encourage young students to develop a love for reading. On Monday, the ninth annual event was held at Miami Gardens Elementary School, where National Football League Hall of Famer Isaac Bruce read the classic Dr. Seuss book, “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” to a captivated audience of students.
A Message of Inspiration
Bruce’s reading of the book was a powerful reminder to the students of the importance of reading and the possibilities that lie ahead. He emphasized the significance of using one’s brain and feet to steer oneself in any direction one chooses. “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose,” he read aloud.
A Passion for Reading
Bruce expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to inspire students to pick up a book and read. “Being able to come out, share this knowledge and teach young minds the importance of reading, that’s what we in the industry of football and in the industry of sports, that’s what we’re about,” he said.
The Importance of Reading
The event aimed to inspire students to fall in love with reading, especially during the week of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Reading is a vital skill that can open doors to new worlds, ignite imagination, and foster a love for learning.
Conclusion
The Miami Dolphins’ partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises is a wonderful initiative to promote reading among young students. By combining the world of sports with the world of literature, the event brought together two passions and encouraged students to explore the magic of reading.
