Today is World Read Aloud Day.  How wonderful to have a day dedicated to something so special, so much fun, and so very very important.

Of course you can read aloud any day of the year, but the purpose of having a special day is to remind everybody that reading aloud is a wonderful thing. At the same time, World Read Aloud Day helps to spread the word that literacy is a right that belongs to all people, and those of us who have the ability to read have the responsibilty of working to ensure that everyone gets to learn to read. You can learn more about the day here.

I plan to celebrate today by reading some poetry out loud.

What are you going to do to celebrate?
