On February 3rd, there will be a World Read Aloud day with several author volunteers doing a quick virtual read aloud with classrooms around the world to share the joy of reading.
Some of the authors are Tracey Baptiste, Debbi Michiko Florence, Hena Khan, Meg Medina, Ellen Oh, Dawn Quigley, Rajanni LaRocca, Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich, Linda Urban, Anne Ursu, Kate Messner and Renee Watson.
Each author will read a five-minute sneak-preview from one of their upcoming books for readers in grades 3-7. The whole segment will run about an hour.
The link to the video will be on Kate Messner’s site and she will post it a day early so that teachers / librarians can embed in Google Classroom if they want . You could also use it in classrooms or share with parents.
The presentations won’t be long, Kate’s site has the following information.
1-2 minutes: Author introduces himself or herself and talks a little about his or her books.
3-5 minutes: Author reads aloud a short picture book, or a short excerpt from a chapter book/novel
5-10 minutes: Author answers a few questions from students about reading/writing
1-2 minutes: Author book-talks about a couple of other books they love.
