World Read Aloud Day - February 16, 2017
The One Book One Day read events held across the district for Literacy Night that was held last Friday clearly illustrates and celebrates a community of readers. Reading aloud motivates children, tweens, and teens through changing your voice for each character and bringing the story to life. Reading aloud builds vocabulary, introduces readers to books they may choose to read independently, and increase academic success.
The 2017 WRAD Activity Packet provides great ideas for read aloud books, activities, and statistics.
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!
