Celebrating International Day of the Girl

Dear LitWorld Friend,

In 2011, the United Nations declared October 11th as the International Day of the Girl, a day dedicated to recognizing the rights of girls. Since then, LitWorld has celebrated this day, rallying our global community to join our "Stand Up for Girls" campaign, where we advocate for every girl's right to share her story and transform the world.

The LitWorld community has proudly celebrated the International Day of the Girl for the past 13 years, and this year was no different.

Our global partners commemorated this day by putting together special activities to empower girls in their local communities, and we couldn’t be prouder to stand united in this mission alongside them.

Thanks to your support, we can continue to Stand Up for Girls not just on October 11th, but every single day.

Scroll down to see a recap of how our partners celebrated!

Get Connected for World Read Aloud Day 2015

Every year educators around the world collaborate to make World Read Aloud Day a huge event for students across the nation. This year is no different. Our awesome WRADvocates have created a World Read Aloud Day Google doc to schedule classroom to classroom read alouds over video chat.

All educators are free to add their schedules and contact information to this document. As WRADvocate Shannon Miller says, "Connecting through stories is always such a rewarding experience for our students.  Students often discover that we are all very much the same even though we are different. You may even discover a long-time collaborative partner through this one experience."

Access the Google doc here and connect with Shannon on Twitter to stay up to date with her World Read Aloud Day plans!
