🌍 The Global Read Aloud Is Here! 📚

It’s HERE — and we’re so excited! The BVE Library has proudly participated in the Global Read Aloud (GRA) since 2018, and we’re thrilled to continue this wonderful tradition with our 3rd graders this year.

So, what is the Global Read Aloud? 🤔
Each year, teachers and librarians from around the world come together to celebrate the power of shared stories. Over the course of 4–6 weeks, we read and explore books by a chosen author or illustrator — comparing themes, noticing differences, discussing how the stories make us feel, and engaging in creative extension activities.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Students also connect with other classrooms across the globe by sending postcards, sharing reflections, and learning about different cultures through the lens of literature.

🌎 This year, our reading adventure connects us with schools in Canada and Vietnam — how amazing is that?
