About this Skype lesson
We are looking for K-5 classes around the world to join us on March 4 for a World Read Aloud Day Skypathon.
When you sign up you will be paired with a partner class in another location. You and your partners will schedule a Skype call for March 4th with each other. Classes will take turns reading their favorite picture books to their partners. Afterwards you are free to ask questions of each other and get to know a bit about your new friends. The Twitter hashtag for this lesson will be #WRADSkype. Feel free to connect with others and share pictures about this Skypathon on Twitter.
We would like classes from all over the world will join us to grow cultural awareness and understanding as well as our reading skills. As an extension, we are hoping that many of the participating classes will be motivated to create their own stories and share them with the rest of us using the #WRADSkype hashtag on Twitter.
Our hope is to use this project to motivate students to read, write, and create their own stories to share with others for years to come. Please check the link below to sign up. We would love to have you join us as we celebrate the power of literacy by grabbing a book and reading aloud. If you would like more information and help in contacting classes let us know. We would love to help you start your own skypathon.
Registration will be open for this lesson until Friday, February 20th. You will be notified of your partner class’s information by Friday, February 27th. Once you receive that information, you can plan your Skype call for World Read Aloud Day on March 4th.
