#WorldReadAloudDay: Letting the reading begin
February 16 is World Read Aloud Day, a day which offers people the chance to escape to far off lands, meet mystical beings and witness heroic deeds, all without needing to leave the comfort of your favourite couch.
NEWCASTLE – While lovebirds see February as the month of love, focusing on Valentine’s Day and romantic gifts, many have forgotten there was another magical day this month.
February 16 is World Read Aloud Day, a day which offers people the chance to escape to far off lands, meet mystical beings and witness heroic deeds, all without needing to leave the comfort of your favourite couch.
The purpose of World Read Aloud Day is to motivate both young and old to celebrate the power of words and literature, in the hopes of creating a world of readers. A world where everyone has the right to be literate and have access to the knowledge that is hidden in books.
