Dear Colleagues:
World Read Aloud Day is 2 February, 2022!
Attached is a 2018 International Literacy Association article explaining how two classroom practices -- reading aloud and independent reading -- promote lifelong reading.
This article is appropriate for all language and content instructors as well as adults with children in their lives.
To close, here is a poem by Emily Dickinson:
A Word is Dead
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
Best wishes,
Laura
