World Read Aloud Day Celebrated

shared by @drmollyness

We loved seeing your photos fill

our Twitter feed on February 1 as

we celebrated World Read Aloud

Day! It made us reminisce about

some of our own favorites. Classics

such as Where the Wild Things Are

and The Monster at the End of This

Book were mentioned by quite

a few staff members, as well as

more recent favorites such as The

Wonky Donkey. (I think we have the

uncontrollable laughter of a Scottish

grandma to thank for putting that

one on our radar!) Remember,

every day is a good day to read

aloud. Keep sharing your photos

with us by tagging @ILAToday.

Last Call for

ILA Awards

Nominations

ILA awards recognize excellence

and showcase best practices

in literacy research, instruction,

and advocacy. Each year,

recipients include district and

school administrators, graduate

students, authors, teachers,

technology specialists, and

more—celebrating achievements

across a wide range of

backgrounds, disciplines,

and areas of expertise. Most

applications are due by

March 15, 2019. The full list

of awards and grants can be

found at literacyworldwide.

org/about-us/awards-

grants.

Teachers in underserved

communities often face financial

barriers to professional development

opportunities. That’s why we’re launching an

equity scholarship for ILA 2019. Awardees will

receive free Core Conference registration to ILA

2019, which will be held in New Orleans, LA, Oct.

10–13, and a stipend for related expenses. As

a way to give back to the greater New

Orleans community, only educators

who live within a 100-mile radius of the

convention center are eligible to apply.

The application period

will be open March 12–

April 30. To learn more,
