2024 Read ME Agriculture

The 2025 Read ME Agriculture program will be held March 17-21, for Maine grades PK-4 students. This year's book is "Farmer Eva's Green Garden Life," written by Jacqueline Briggs Martin and illustrated by Christy Hale. The author grew up on a farm in Maine, and farmer Eva is a real farmer from Massachusetts. Every classroom that participates will receive a copy of the book and accompanying educator’s guide, with aligned classroom activities.

To best serve the hundreds of classrooms that participate in Read ME each year, the 2025 program will be a hybrid model where classrooms can choose from in-person and virtual options. Classrooms may choose their own reader or ask MAITC for help. Contacts may register their own classroom or schools may choose 1 contact to register multiple classrooms.

MAITC is again planning virtual sessions upon request.

If you are interested, please complete google form by January 20, 2025 and if you register multiple classrooms, MAITC will contact you by email to get more information.
