Reading Comprehension Valentine's Day

6

Valentine's Day was probably imported into North America in the 19th century by British settlers.

In the United States, the first mass-produced valentines of embossed paper lace were produced

and sold shortly after 1847 by Esther Howland (1828-1904) of Worcester, Massachusetts. Her

father operated a large book and stationery store, and she took her inspiration from an English

valentine she had received. Since 2001, the Greeting Card Association has been giving an annual

"Esther Howland Award for a Greeting Card Visionary".

In the second half of the 20th century, the practice of exchanging cards was extended to all

manners of gifts in the United States, usually from a man to a woman. Such gifts typically include

roses and chocolates. In the 1980s, the diamond industry began to promote Valentine's Day as an

occasion for giving jewelry.

In some North American elementary schools, students are asked to give a Valentine card or small

gift to everyone in the class. The greeting cards of these students often mention what they

appreciate about each other. Though this practice has been criticized for possibly being irrelevant

or inappropriate, it has continued for decades.
