BOISE-- Idaho school children got the chance to read with the first lady both in person and online. Lori Otter took part in National Reading Day with hundreds of kids in the Idaho Virtual Academy.
The IDVA uses e-classroom technology to link students and their parents over the Internet. Otter says the network allows even more children to get excited about reading.
"I would think that if you had kids at home they were playing along with the story telling they would have a great time too," said Otter.
National Reading Day also coincides with the birthday of children's book writer, Dr. Suess.
