World Read Aloud Day - February 16th
World Read Aloud Day motivates children, teens, and adults worldwide to celebrate the power of words and creates a community of readers taking action to show the world that the right to literacy belongs to all people. World Read Aloud Day is celebrated by millions of people in more than 100 countries thanks to people like you who participate and spread the word across the globe! While you may not promote this as widely as Read Across America-- take the time to dedicate the day to purposely reading aloud at your school!
