The Global Read Aloud 2015
for grades K-12!
What is the Global Read Aloud?
The Global Read Aloud is a wonderful way to read and share reading with classrooms from around the globe. The founder of GRA, Pernille Ripp (7th grade teacher from Wisconsin), believes that:
"Global collaboration is necessary to show students that they are part of something bigger than them. That the world needs to be protected and that we need to care for all people. You can show them pictures of kids in other countries but why not have them speak to each other? Then the caring can begin.”
