National Read Aloud Day

National Read Aloud Day

Posted on January 27, 2019January 27, 2019 by Dot

What is it you can do with someone you love, that brings excitement and pleasure to you both?

Why, READ ALOUD, of course.

National Read Aloud Day will be celebrated this year on Friday, February 1. Although, as with other important holidays, the celebration may go on all week in classrooms and libraries.

I love to read aloud … to children when I have an opportunity, when I’m learning lines, and for comprehension when the text is difficult or confusing.

My various audiences have been my grandfather who was blind, my younger siblings, my children, grands and great-grands. Classes of children in Kindergarten, Mothers Day Out, and Vacation Bible School.

You will find me on February 1, 2019, somewhere reading aloud.

BTW, Thank you everyone for the response to Launching my Latest Book, Worth the Candle. I appreciate every “congrat” and word of encouragement.

There will be a book signing February 23 at the Goff Library in Beebe. More about that later.

    I love reading aloud too!
    Friday is when my book Worth the Candle is supposed to be here from amazon. I can’t wait to read it!

    I love reading to children, too. I’m tutoring a first grader on Wednesdays, and we take turns reading to each other. So I’ll be reading aloud tomorrow!
