World Read Aloud Day
February 1, 2023
From LitWorld:
Join millions around the globe as we celebrate the power of reading aloud with World Read Aloud Day®, held annually on the first Wednesday of February! Begin the countdown to the next World Read Aloud Day in 2024 and check out the Activity Hub below for free resources to help celebrate reading aloud all year long.
LitWorld founded World Read Aloud Day® in 2010 to celebrate the power of reading aloud to create community and amplify new stories, and to advocate for literacy as a foundational human right. Since then, World Read Aloud Day has evolved into a global movement of millions of readers, writers, and listeners from communities all across the world coming together to honor the joy and power of reading and sharing stories, and continue expanding the definition and scope of global literacy.
From celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Chelsea Clinton, and Jimmy Fallon to students of all ages from around the globe, World Read Aloud Day brings us together to celebrate the unique impact of sharing stories.
