World Read Aloud Day

brings together children, parents, teachers, authors and communities to share stories, strengthen literacy and remind people that reading is not only a skill but a shared experience.

World Read Aloud Day was established in 2010 by LitWorld, a global literacy organisation focused on education, empowerment and access to books.

The initiative was created to raise awareness about literacy as a human right and to highlight the millions of children around the world who still lack access to books, learning resources and quality education.

By encouraging people to read aloud on the same day across countries and cultures, the campaign aims to build a global community around stories.
