I cared for children in daycare centres as an Early Childhood Educator for over fourteen years. The bond I formed with the children in my care warmed my heart. These bonds were enhanced through my love of books. That's why, when I heard about World Read Aloud Day, I knew I wanted to participate.
For 13 years, World Read Aloud Day has called attention to the importance of sharing stories by challenging participants to grab a book, find an audience, and read-aloud! The global effort, created by the non-profit LitWorld and sponsored by Scholastic, is celebrated annually in over 173 countries and is all about bringing people together through the shared connection of reading aloud in all our communities. -the Scholastic website
