World Read Aloud Day (WRAD) is celebrated on the first Wednesday of February and was marked this year on February 4th, 2026, in Croatia. Our students spent the day celebrating the joy of reading by listening to their teachers read aloud and by reading aloud to one another.

Our PYP 0 students visited the school library, where they enjoyed listening to a story read aloud by Teacher Mirna. PYP 2 students proudly read aloud their own stories, which they had written themselves. Meanwhile, PYP 4 students read aloud to the PYP 0 class, demonstrating strong Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills, particularly communication and social skills. Through this activity, they practiced interaction, language development, and collaboration while building meaningful connections with younger learners. PYP 3 enjoyed peer reading as well.

World Read Aloud Day was a wonderful opportunity to foster a love of reading, strengthen literacy skills, and promote a sense of community across our PYP classes.
