“World Read
Aloud Day is about taking action to show the world that the right to read and
write belongs to all people. World Read Aloud Day motivates children, teens,
and adults worldwide to celebrate the power of words, especially those words
that are shared from one person to another and creates a community of readers
advocating for every child’s right to a safe education and access to books and
technology.”
