GAMS Scholars Welcome Visitors for World Read Aloud Day
Students in Ms. Purdy's 1st grade class celebrated World Read Aloud Day with 14 visitors sharing stories with them throughout the day.
LitWorld founded World Read Aloud Day® (WRAD) in 2010 to celebrate the power of reading aloud to create community and amplify new stories, and to advocate for literacy as a foundational human right. Since then, WRAD has evolved into a global movement of millions of readers, writers, and listeners from across the world coming together to honor the joy and power of reading and continue expanding the definition and scope of global literacy.
