World Read Aloud Day 2021

1/17/2021

Mark your calendars for World Read Aloud Day 2021, also know at WRAD! It will take place on Wednesday, February 3, 2021.

LitWorld started the event in 2010 to celebrate the power of reading aloud and to advance literacy efforts around the world. In support of this work, many authors and illustrators offer free 20-minute virtual read alouds to teachers and classrooms. This year, several members of KidLit in Color are available to read with you!

Most WRAD virtual visits will go something like this:

1-2 minutes: Author gives a quick introduction & talks a little about their books.
3-5 minutes: Author reads aloud a short picture book, or a short excerpt
5-10 minutes: Author answers a few questions from students about reading/writing
1-2 minutes: Author book-talks a couple books they love (but didn’t write!) as recommendations for the kids

Before you sign up, you'll need to be able to provide:

a contact name
the name of your school, library, or homeschool group
a virtual meeting link.

Please check your scheduled time carefully. All times are listed in Eastern Standard Time.

To sign up, go to our form on SignUp Genius and choose an available slot.
