The World Read Aloud Day Ambassadors are ready!

The World Read Aloud DayAmbassadors are getting ready for their work next week.  Their job is to get every student and staff member excited for the big event on Wednesday, March 6th.

They have created scripts:

Van: Hello Ms Ramgren’s class, I’m Van and this is Pete, Ellie, Ollie and Clary and we are here to tell you about World read aloud day, or WRAD.

Clary: W.R.A.D. is a day devoted to reading. How many of you read at home with your parents? (pause) What kind of books do you read?(pause, call on children)

Pete: W.R.A.D. is on March 6, 2013. That’s tomorrow!

Ellie: World Read Aloud Day is when people around the world read a book aloud to each other. It is in celebration of being able to read. Think about how much you wouldn’t know if you couldn’t read!

Ollie:  So help us on this amazing day by reading aloud to someone or have someone read aloud to you. 

Ellie:  Everyone will have a notice sent home to their parents informing them of W.R.A.D.

Clary:  You will also get bookmarks sent home to you for you to decorate.

Ollie: All the bookmarks will be sent off to children who benefit from LitWorld, which is an organization that helps kids who can’t read!

Pete On W.R.A.D. tomorrow you should ask your parents to read aloud to you because everyone in the world will also be reading aloud. 

Ellie and Clary: Thanks for listening to our presentation and

All:  Happy Early World Read Aloud Day!

We connected with @librarybrods 

and her students

and shared a Geisel Award winner:

I Want My Hat Back

We connected via Google Hangouts

so the students shared 

what they love about Dr. Seuss books. 

They could see the students in the other school 

while they were contributing to the wall.

We connected with @liblaura5

and read a

Green Eggs and Ham 

readers' theatre script

We connected with @erinlibrary

and 

took turns 

reading 

the poems 

in 

Mirror Mirror

I think there were many people connecting today because we had a few technological glitches, 

but when they occurred, 

the students were patient and read.

How perfect for a day that celebrates reading!

Celebrating Seuss

What a Seussical celebration!

Mr. Schu and I set the date

and were sure not to be late.

A great book did we choose

one sure not to lose.

A book that would appeal to each child

mild-mannered and wild.

Our students did read

with just the right speed.

Words funny and rhyming

with just the right timing. 

What can it be?

Dr. Seuss's ABC!

This was only day one

but, boy did we have fun!

BUT...

We're not done yet!

After reading together

it got even better!

 My friend, Mr. Schu, from Watch.Connect.Read., and his students recited the reading pledge to my kindergartners!

Happy early Read Across America Day!
