World Read Aloud Day Reading Challenge 2026

February 4, 2026 - February 4, 2026

This is the easiest challenge you will take part in all year! I am challenging everyone at PS 36X to read aloud today! Choose a book you love and read it! You can read to your mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, sister, brother, cousin, classmate, teacher, friend or a neighbor! You can read to them in person, on zoom or over the phone! It doesn't matter what, where or who you read as long as you read aloud!
