What is World Read Aloud Day?
World Read Aloud Day was created in 2010 by LitWorld when a student participating in one of their programs asked, “Why can’t we create a birthday party for the read-aloud?”
World Read Aloud Day celebrates the fundamental human right to literacy across the world. Millions of people from over 170 different countries celebrate World Read Aloud Day.

Read-Aloud Tips.pdfWorld Read Aloud Day will be taking place on February 7th, 2024. The easiest way to celebrate? Read a book aloud! You can read it to yourself, to friends, family, or a favourite stuffed animal. You can also create your own book to read aloud or to share with others to read aloud.
What are the benefits of reading aloud?
-Listening to new words helps build vocabulary
-Listening to someone read a story teaches you how to be a good listener outside of story time as well
-Reading out loud makes it easier to remember what you're reading, so reading aloud boosts your memory
-Listening to a story helps us become more fluent in the language the story is being read
-Seeing a word on a page is a different experience to hearing a word. Reading out loud lets you do both, which help with reading comprehension
-Reading out loud reduces stress and lets you escape into a new world for a little while
-Hearing a story is entertaining
-Read alouds help you bond with the reader and others listening to the story
