World Read Aloud Day
A Day to Celebrate Literacy with Everyone
We're Celebrating Read Across America Day and World Read Aloud Day at LMS
"World Read Aloud Day is about taking action to show the world that the right to read and write belongs to all people. World Read Aloud Day motivates children, teens, and adults worldwide to celebrate the power of words, especially those words that are shared from one person to another and creates a community of readers advocating for every child's right to a safe education and access to books and technology. By raising our voices together on this day we show the world's children that we support their future: that they have the right to read and share their words to change the world."
