Spotlight: First Lady Moore Launches #ReadMoreMaryland

March 05, 2026

---

On March 2, Maryland's First Lady Dawn Moore officially launched #ReadMoreMaryland, a statewide literacy month campaign designed to celebrate and strengthen a culture of reading across our state.

In partnership with the Governor’s Office of Children and the Maryland State Department of Education, this initiative invites students, families, educators, and community members to come together around one simple but powerful idea: reading matters.

Throughout the month, Marylanders are encouraged to share photos or videos of themselves reading their favorite books using #ReadMoreMaryland. Whether it’s a student diving into a new adventure, a family reading together at home, or a classroom celebrating story time, every post helps amplify the joy and importance of literacy.

By participating, we can help create a visible, statewide culture of reading that supports Maryland’s young people and reinforces literacy as the foundation for lifelong success.

We appreciate your partnership in spreading the word and encouraging your communities to join the movement. Together, let’s show Maryland what it means to read more!
