Once again, Outskirts Press is proud to sponsor LitWorld, the organization behind World Read Aloud Day, occurring right now on February 7th. Check out our LitWorld page at https://outskirtspress.com/litworld.html for all our participating authors and their videos.
World Read Aloud Day, observed every year on the first Wednesday of February, is a global event dedicated to celebrating the power of reading aloud.
History and Purpose
Founded in 2010 by the non-profit organization LitWorld, World Read Aloud Day aims to promote literacy as a fundamental human right and highlight the benefits of reading aloud.
This global movement encourages people of all ages, backgrounds, and locations to come together and share stories by reading aloud to others.
It celebrates the unique connection created when stories are brought to life through oral storytelling, similar to its historical roots before written language.
What Happens on World Read Aloud Day
Individuals, organizations, and communities worldwide participate in diverse activities, like reading aloud to children in classrooms, libraries, hospitals, and even retirement homes; organizing group reading events in public spaces or online; and sharing favorite books and stories on social media using the hashtag #WorldReadAloudDay.
Benefits of World Read Aloud Day
It promotes literacy skills since reading aloud to children enhances their vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and imagination. It strengthens bonds and communities since sharing stories fosters connections and understanding between people of different backgrounds. And it celebrates the joy of reading since reading aloud can be a fun and engaging activity for people of all ages.
