The Global Read Aloud is a fantastic way to connect your students with the world through reading!
There are no rules other than reading one of the selected books aloud to your students and connecting in some way with a different class about the book.
Last fall, Amy Kosloski's class participated. They connected with classes in Texas, New York, and Canada through Skype and Kidblog. Check out some of their Kidblog posts here.
They enjoyed a good book together and became more engaged as they discussed the book with other classes. They broadened their perspective as they viewed, spoke to, and blogged with students from a different area of the world. Click here to see a few moments from one of their Skype experiences (this was a Mystery Skype, in which each class tried to guess the location of the other class).
This opportunity is for all ages, K-12. It officially begins October 5th. I can help you set up a partnership, teach you and your students how to Skype/blog/make any other sort of connection. Please click here to let me know if you are interested in learning more about the Global Read Aloud.
