World Read Aloud Day!

Celebrate the Joy of Reading on World Read Aloud Day!

February 1st, World Read Aloud Day, brings global attention to the importance of reading aloud and sharing stories with others. Reading aloud to a child is possibly the single most important activity you can undertake to help ensure a bright and promising future.

Read aloud and share a story to:

• Build literacy skills
• Build language skills
• Create wonder
• Teach empathy
• Foster curiosity
• Foster creativity
• Learn about the world

​Don’t reserve reading aloud just for children. Read aloud to anyone who will enjoy a good story, which is everyone. Spread the love and the joy that are books. Learn more about the power and impact reading aloud can have on your child's life in our handbook: The Art and Importance of Reading Aloud!
