The initiative to mark World Read Aloud Day was launched by the non-profit organisation LitWorld from the USA. For 13 years, the World Read Aloud Day campaign has encouraged various non-profit organisations, schools and publishing houses to emphasise the importance of sharing stories through activities in which participants affirm reading, connecting the book and the story with the audience.

This year, on World Read Aloud Day, sixth, seventh and eighth-grade students visited the classrooms of lower-grade students and read them poetry by Ljubivoje Ršumović, Mošo Odalović, Brana Crnčević, Miodrag Stanisavljević, etc. The students reading were Đorđe Nenezić, Uroš Đukić, Ema Nikolić, Simona Rudović, Aleksandra Mamuzić, Iva Vuletić, Barbara Perković, and they read the poetry to the children from all classes from first to fourth grade.

All of them say that it was interesting and that we could celebrate this day every first Wednesday of the month, not only in February!

Love towards reading can be developed in different ways, and we try to develop and nurture it at every opportunity.
