📚The Global Read Aloud Project was begun by Pernille Ripp, an amazing and inspiring middle school educator. Simply, the global read aloud happens when classrooms all over the world read a book together and then discuss how it impacted them from their cultural lens.Once a year, starting in early October and running through mid-November. Due to the time commitment, this is only a once a year project, however, two fantastic spin-off projects run at other times; the New Zealand Read Aloud and the French version of GRA, Ecouter Lire le Monde.
