I can’t believe the last week of the Global Read Aloud is upon us. What an incredible adventure it has been yet again. When Amy Krouse Rosenthal and I spoke this summer, she asked if she could help dream up events for you and as anyone would probably do, I enthusiastically replied, “Yes!”
Therefore, for us to celebrate the final day of the Global Read Aloud, November 13th, I invite you to participate in the Glow Ball Read Dahl Loud!
How do you participate?
GLOW = if possible, get some colorful glow sticks
BALL = get dressed up like you’re going to a fancy ball
READ = you know how to do that!
DAHL = find your favorite Roald Dahl poem
LOUD = now read it as LOUD as you can!!
So join us on November 13th as we culminate our read aloud with a massive celebration of the beauty of reading aloud.
P.S: When you say “Glow Ball Read Dahl Loud” out loud, what does it sound like? 🙂
P.P.S: You can listen to Amy’s favorite rendition of the song Pure Imagination here.
