February 3rd is World Read Aloud Day – so much fun stuff involved (not to mention wearing your PJs)!

All classes will be going to be “attending” their Virtual Author Visits – thanks to Kristy ❤️  🙂 for arranging this great experience for the littles!!

Here are some great resources to add to a fun day of Read Alouds throughout the day if you choose/are able…

1. Live Read Alouds on Storyvoice  – check out their schedule
   1. Some favorites of mine:

4. LitWorld’s YouTube channel – few Live events
5. 3 pm – Bookmark Workshop (good for dismissal?)  on LitWorld’s YouTube channel
6. There is a Padlet for the kids (and many adults) around the world to share their favorite books that tell a story!

Here is a great article if you want to read or send to parents about the importance of reading aloud.

I found all of this info on the Scholastic Website, the Storyvoice website, and on the LitWorld website – please feel free to share, inquire, or check out any of the resources they have – visit here  (also through Scholastic’s instagram post)!!
