SMART READING World ‘Read Aloud Day’ celebrated on Feb. 5 In celebration of World Read Aloud Day, SMART Reading, a statewide chil- dren’s literacy nonprofit, has issued a challenge to get 10,000 Oregonians reading with children on Wednesday, Feb. 5. World Read Aloud Day, initiated by New York-based nonprofit, LitWorld, is an opportunity to celebrate the joy of reading aloud, and advocate for literacy as a fun- damental human right that belongs to everyone. SMART Reading aims to use the platform of World Read Aloud Day to bring awareness to the critical im- portance of early literacy by challenging Oregonians to take a pledge to read aloud with a child in their life or to help spread the word about the importance of reading. The pledge is available on SMART Reading’s website at www.SMARTReading.org/ world-read-aloud-day. Read Aloud Day will be observed at May Street Ele- mentary from noon to 1 p.m. Feb. 5. “Reading is an early gate- way skill that paves the path- way for future success,” said Chris Otis, SMART Read- ing executive director. “We urge folks across the state to take the challenge to read with children on World Read Aloud Day and join us in cel- ebrating the power of literacy to open doors to opportuni- ties and choices for kids.” Since 1992, SMART Read- ing has engaged nearly 140,000 Oregonians to sup- port 222,128 Oregon children with individual reading sup- port and 2.8 million books to keep, ensuring that they can start — and stay — on a path of strong literacy skills that leads to lifelong benefits and opportunities. SMART Reading programs take place in all Hood River County School District build- ings, and local Head Start sites, and at two elementary schools in The Dalles.
