Today — February 1st, 2019 — is the 10th Annual World Read Aloud Day! But because reading aloud is worth celebrating for more than just one day, I’ve been celebrating all week, and will continue to celebrate next week, too! How? By virtually visiting classrooms and libraries all across the country (and also up in Canada!) and reading aloud to kids. All told, I’ll be visiting more than 60 schools!
You can — and SHOULD! — celebrate World Read Aloud Day, too. Just grab a friend, family member (pets included!), coworker, neighbor — or, hey, even a total stranger — and read them something. A picture book. A poem. Whatever! Why? Because reading aloud is fun, and it makes us smarter, stronger, kinder, and about a hundred other awesome things besides.
Happy reading!

Love it! The kids always enjoy being read to, even in the upper grades! Yeah, read aloud!!! 🙂
May I use some of these pictures to share them on some of my social media sites?
Hey Tanya! Sure — but the pictures with the stats didn’t come from me. They are made by LitWorld and can be found here: http://www.litworld.org/wrad/
