Global Read Aloud

I would like to invite all Reading/Language Arts teachers to consider being a part of this year's Global Read Aloud.

This begins in early October and runs for six weeks.  During your read-aloud time, you will choose to read one of the books on the list.  I will work to connect you in advance with another classroom (or more than one, if you like) that is reading the same book.

Classrooms from all over the world participate and connect through reading the same books.  You can connect with other classes through email, Skype, Edmodo(similar to Facebook for education), snail mail, or blogging.

Here is a picture of my Kindergarten class from last year, connecting with a class in Texas via Skype:

We made several connections throughout the United States!

During your school day, this does not need to add any extra time to your read-aloud.  But it will add depth to the conversation and broaden your students' horizons!
