WORLD READ ALOUD DAY: Join the Celebration

Parents, caregivers, teachers, librarians:
On February 5, LitWorld, a worldwide literacy organization, is celebrating the 15th birthday of World Read Aloud Day (WRAD). Reading aloud is a dynamic and fulfilling experience for all involved; it creates an inclusive and satisfying bond among participants. In the past, people from more than 170 countries have joined in to participate in this day, devoted to the practice of reading aloud. In fact, during past celebrations, the WRAD hashtag has been one of the highest trending on social media. Find out how you can participate–at home, in a classroom, a library, wherever!

What I think . . .

There are all kinds of readers. Some—like my daughter and me—are never without a book to read for pleasure. Others—like my son—are careful, analytical, and curious readers who read primarily to seek information from the page.


No matter what kind of reader your child becomes, you can help him or her get started. After all, you are your child’s first teacher. And, best of all, you can have some fun in the process.


Please feel free to share your own ideas. Tell me about ways you've enjoyed reading with your child.
