Looking for good novels to read aloud to your students? Want free ideas to help them enjoy the story and connect with others?
Think about joining the Global Read Aloud! The teachers who tried it out last year loved it!
What is it?
1) Each year a handful of books are selected by teachers to read aloud to their classes.
2) Teachers sign up online and start reading the book(s) they choose to their students. Last year over 1 million students in 60 different countries connected to share a common reading experience!
3) Read the books from October 3rd-November 7th.
4) Depending on how involved you want to get, students can participate in lessons and activities related to the stories. I can share more in person and help you get connected and make some plans for activities tied to what you are doing in your classes.
Here is a clip with a better explanation from the founder, Pirnelle Ripp.
