Today is World Read Aloud Day

Today is World Read Aloud Day!

Go here for more information about World Read Aloud Day and to download a packet of information.

Grab your favorite kid or two (or seven), and read a book aloud. I’ve talked about this subject a lot around these parts. Here is a round-up of some of my favorite posts about read aloud.

World Read Aloud Day

 

An entire month of read aloud here; I wrote a post about read aloud every day for 31 days a few years ago. You can see all those posts here: 31 Days of Read-Aloud

Favorites among those? How not to suck at read-aloud and a few of our favorite kids books that have been made into movies.

    I didn’t know there was a “World Read-Aloud Day”! How awesome is this! I read with our five-year-old daily, in fact she has won prizes at school for ‘reading’ the most, thank you for this post and for all the reading aloud information in it!
