Read Aloud || Children Reading Aloud -Storymoja Publishers

This is the world's largest gathering of Kenyan children reading aloud from the same text and at the same time in multiple locations. The event is conducted annually on the International Day of the African Child on June 16th 2022. It is a 30-minute expressive and interesting reading exercise that runs from 8:30am-9am on the chosen day, in which children in different schools across the country read the same text at the same time. They are joined in various ways by Reading Ambassadors drawn from a cross section of society.

Reading Ambassadors

Message from the Read aloud Patron

The only reason I am the patron of this wonderful initiative is because I believe with all my heart that reading storybooks promotes literacy and critical thinking. Stories invite debate and stimulate the exploration of values and issues affecting how we live with each other. Stories help children develop empathy

If you are a parent, well-wisher or decision maker for an organization, please donate a book for a student, or donate copies for a school so they can participate.

Visit a primary school as a Reading Ambassador on the day and join in on June16, 2022.

What a powerful way it will be for Kenyans to celebrate the International Day of the African Child! I’ll be reading with Kenyan children to break a world record.

Will you join me? Dr Auma Obama
