I have long used Google groups to help communicate with all of those that sign up. It provides me with a safe and easy method of communication and lets participants know all of the things they need to know for a smooth Global Read Aloud. Since I am the only one that can post to the group it doesn’t become a forum where people are inundated with messages, but rather snapshots of knowledge for all those who sign up.
Typically I add new members directly, but since the project has grown to be so large, it is hard to keep up with all of the manual adding. Therefore, if you would like to be a part of the Google group, and you have already signed up, please follow these instructions (You do not have to have a Gmail account to do this).
- Go to this link to search for the group
- In the search box at the top search for “Global Read Aloud 2015”
- Click join group
That’s it!
What might you get from joining the group? Updates, timelines, ideas, and the latest information to help your experience with the Global Read Aloud be a great one. I hope it is helpful to you.

How do I sign up for Google Groups?
Figured it out!
Can you share how you did it? I too would like to join the google group
Did you follow the directions in the post? It is usually just a matter of googling for groups.
I’m a media specialist working with a number of teachers doing the GRA this year – I just talked with one who told me the Google Group link above isn’t working and I found out the same thing. When we click the link we get a notice that it is invalid…
