For this year’s RCAA events, we’ve put together a convenient kit that contains printed RCAA materials and—for registered DCMP members—a new RCAA DVD featuring 6 popular Dr. Seuss titles, including The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs & Ham, The Lorax, and more! Simply fill out our online RCAA kit request form, and we’ll ship you a customized kit within a few days. As with all other DCMP services, there is no charge for the kit or for shipping (please note that the DVD must be returned to the DCMP in the enclosed pre-paid envelope, as with all of our media).
The RCAA kit includes the following items:
- RCAA Posters (up to 10)
- “Captions Build Literacy” Posters (up to 10)
- "Superpowered Accessible Media" Posters (up to 10)
- RCAA Bookmarks (specify quantity)
- RCAA Certificates of Participation (specify quantity)
- Dr. Seuss DVD for registered Level 2 DCMP members only
If you order the kit with the DVD, be sure to fill out the DCMP username field on the request form so that we can verify your account. If you are not yet a DCMP member, now is the perfect time to register for a free account. In order to borrow media from our collection, you must be a teacher, parent, or other party involved with educating at least one K–12 student who is deaf, hard of hearing, blind, visually impaired, or deaf-blind. Teachers and ASL interpreters in training—along with teacher or interpreter training personnel—also qualify for lending privileges.

RCAA Logo Usage
We encourage you to use the RCAA logo when promoting the event and/or creating promotional or activities materials to be used in your event. The following guidelines have been provided to outline permitted use of the RCAA logo:
- Use the logo only to promote RCAA, which includes promoting your events and activities.
- Do not use the logo for any commercial purpose. Thus, you must avoid stores and other sponsors selling their products in conjunction with the logo. For instance, “Buy one, get one free” promotions in honor of the DCMP’s RCAA are not permissible.
- Use the logo only as it appears. The logo may not be modified in any way except that it may be reduced or enlarged in size to fit the space available. You may not separate the graphics from the rest of the logo.
- Do not use the logo with the logo of any business or sponsor. You are, however, encouraged to include the name of your local association and/or school along with the DCMP’s RCAA logo.
- RCAA is a partnership project with the NEA’s Read Across America. We encourage you to read the NEA’s copyright and licensing arrangements regarding the use of content owned by Dr. Seuss Enterprises and also use these logos when appropriate in promoting your Read Across America events and activities.
RCAA Media
Since the NEA plans its annual “Read Across America” campaign to coincide with the birthday of Dr. Seuss, it goes without saying that captioned Seuss titles are the most requested items from the DCMP collection for use at RCAA events around the country. The following titles, available instantly to DCMP members, are included in the RCAA Event Kit:
- The Cat in the Hat
- The Lorax
- Dr. Seuss on the Loose (contains The Sneetches, The Zax, and Green Eggs & Ham)
- The Hoober-Bloob Highway
However, by no means must your RCAA event be limited to only Seuss titles. The DCMP collection contains hundreds of titles based on popular children’s books, many of which are probably available in your local school library!
