Read-Alouds

Our Read-Aloud ran weekly from 2020 to 2024.

Sessions are no longer running, but we’ve kept this page as a record of the program.

Introduction: What Are Our Read-Alouds?

In our online sessions (guided by a volunteer), students listen to a book being read, and can also add to the discussion. They are meant to be a place to learn, make friends, and have fun!

Best of all: They are completely free!
