Today we celebrate World Read Aloud Day! Wondering why this practice is so important?

Early literacy skills include handling books, being able to name books, knowing how stories work, recognising sounds and letters, growing vocabulary and sharpening listening skills. All of these are imparted when a caring adult or teen reads aloud to younger children.

Studies show that writing by hand improves memory, and students retain learning better when working with new ideas through handwriting instead of typing.

Have you ever struggled to find the best word to describe a feeling, a scene or a point of view? A thesaurus is used to help you become more precise and descriptive in your writing. It provides a list of suggested ‘replacements’ for any word you have in mind. It helps you zone in on the best word choice!

This is why Thesaurus Day is worth celebrating, around the world!
