I had a great time at Coleman A. Young, today.  I got a chance to read to a third grade class as well as have girls from the LitClub read to me.  I was part of a larger audience comprised of ladies from the Jewish Women's Council.  The girls read poetry and an excerpt from a book.  The experience was awesome!

Thanks for another outstanding World Read Aloud Day!

Can we request readers for my kids more often? This is amazing for them and they love it.

Maybe the Lit Club can set up a schedule with us? We would need about 12-15 readers at a time (I have 18 students)...

Thanks!!
