World Read Aloud Day 2/7/24 - Call for Self-Published Author Volunteers
Please fill out this form if you're a self-published author or illustrator who would like to volunteer to Zoom with classes to celebrate World Read Aloud Day on February 7, 2024.
WRAD VIRTUAL VISITS AREN’T LONG OR FANCY PRESENTATIONS. USUALLY, THEY LAST 10-15 MINUTES AND GO SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
1-2 minutes: Author gives a quick introduction & talks a little about their 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 a couple books they love (but didn’t write!) as recommendations
