World Read Aloud Day
I am thrilled that I'll be able to participate again in World Read Aloud Day!

World Read Aloud Day (or WRAD) will take place on Wednesday, February 1, 2023. 

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 15-20 minute virtual read alouds to teachers and classrooms. This year, I have several slots available and would love to read to your students!
Picture
My WRAD virtual visit will go something like this: 
  • 1-2 minutes: I give a quick introduction & talk a little about my books.
  • 3-5 minutes: I read aloud a short excerpt from my most recently published book.
  • 5-10 minutes: I answer a few questions from students about reading/writing
  • 1-2 minutes: I booktalk a few books that I 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 Time.
​
To sign up, go to my Google Form and choose an available slot.
