Worldwide at least 793 million people remain illiterate.
Imagine a world where everyone can read...
World Read Aloud Day is about taking action to show the world that the right to read and write belongs to all people. World Read Aloud Day motivates children, teens, and adults worldwide to celebrate the power of words, especially those words that are shared from one person to another, and creates a community of readers advocating for every child’s right to a safe education and access to books and technology.

By raising our voices together on this day we show the world’s children that we support their future: that they have the right to read, to write, and to share their words to change the world.

For the WRAD, I'll be reading some poems by Shel Silverstein. He's one of the few foreign poets I know who can keep me awake for a good number of poems. You know that it's a Silverstein poem if
- it makes you smile, laugh, guffaw
- it makes you chant or sing the poem
- it inspires you to share the poem to your friends and if
- it is paired with an equally exquisite illustration
Geez! I hope there are more Shel Silversteins in the world.
Today, I'll be reading and rereading poems from
My personal favorites are
- Ickle Me, Pickle Me and Tickle Me Too and
- Melinda Mae
Again, Happy World Read Aloud Day!
