Important Events of March – 19
International Read To Me Day
- International Read to Me! Day is an international campaign aimed at encouraging children to remind adults in their village to read to them often.
- It was created as another essential cog in the literacy advocacy wheel.
Aims:
- Change the dynamic and empower children to ask for more support, not just from their birth family but also from their community. Marking a day when kids can ask to be read to is a key part of this strategy.
- Promote, encourage and inspire reading activities within communities;
- And to showcase organisations who are passionate about improving the literacy standards of the children around them.
- To address the disparity between resources and where they are distributed, by supporting a book drive and sending the collected books to locations around the world to those who are looking for books.
History:
- International Read To Me day was established by the Child Writes Foundation to encourage the growth and spread of adult literacy.
- It became clear that in countries throughout the world adult literacy is a problem, and many adults simply lack the ability to read even for pleasure.
