Reading Around the World

We just finished participating in a wonderful activity called "Reading Around the World". Although the activity itself is just getting started, we were one of the first participants. The basic gist is that a student chooses a book that they like and records themselves reading it. You then add that recording to a collaborative wiki. As classes from all over the world add their recording to the wiki it grows to represent students from all over the world who are reading books.

You can check out the beginnings of the project at the Help Us Read Around the World wiki.

Each student in our class was able to choose a specific book to read. Some of the students chose books that were at the upper limit of their reading ability. They really felt strongly about giving this project their best effort so I was happy to support their decision. I think they all did a stupendous job!

Here are the audio recordings we created:

  1. Morgan! I loved your story telling voice! It was very suspensful and a bit spooky. It matched the words of the story. The surprise ending was very fun and scary.

    Love,
    Your mom
