Take action for global literacy
On March 5th, educators, children, parents and a host of literature loving people will participate in LitWorld's World Read Aloud Day. LitWorld is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to grow and support literacy leaders and literacy programs.
"Take Action for Global Literacy,
Celebrate the Power of Words,
Change the World."
Show your support for literacy as a human right by reading aloud, giving away a book or participating in a local event. Need ideas? Check out the WRAD Calendar.
Explore activity ideas.
The key to changing global literacy rates is...
Your involvement.
