This event is partnered with LitWorld.
LitWorld founded World Read Aloud Day in 2010 because they think everyone in the world should get to read and write. Every year on this day, people all around the globe read aloud together and share stories to advocate for literacy as a human right that belongs to all. Over 90 million people in over 170 countries participated in WRAD last year with #WorldReadAloudDay Top 5 trending internationally on Twitter.
