World Read Aloud Day - March 7, 2012
I will be setting up an event in Billings, Montana to promote World Read Aloud Day and do some fundraising. My goal is to raise at least $100 for Litworld. The ambassador who raises the most money will be honored at LitWorld's Gala in May of 2012. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
I ordered 250 bookmarks to celebrate World Read Aloud Day.
Helping this growing organization meet it's goals is very exciting.
What will LitWorld Accomplish?
By 2014: Help one million children learn to read.
By 2016: Equip ten thousand literacy leaders to effect change that will impact ten million children across the globe.

Here is a video of Pam Allyn sharing about LitWorld's mission.
Awesome! What a great opportunity.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You're such a passionate supporter of children's literacy - I think they made the right choice!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I just set up my storytime for World Read aloud day at a local bookstore! I'm so excited! Your post is very informative and I love the video with Pam Allyn.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support everyone.
ReplyDeleteJackie,
I still need to set up my event at a local book store. I'm thinking Barnes and Noble. What book/books are you reading? I'll probably email you with questions etc. Isn't LitWorld a great organization?
Great post, Michelle. I want to figure out how to post the video and images on my blog as well. I am having a little party for my girlfriends on February 2--as a book exchange and fundraiser. I am also planning to read at my friend's nursery school class. Very excting stuff!
