Mission Statement

“Collaboration is necessary to show students that they are part of something bigger than them”

This is the ‘why’ of Pernille Ripp’s decision to start the Global Read Aloud back in 2010.

At #NZreadaloud we want to see students learn to love reading.

#NZreadaloud is a reading experience with a focus on learning through discussion.

Our mission is to create readers who know how to initiate, contribute and participate in critical learning discussions to improve their understanding of a story.

    • Hey Amy. Not too late to sign up! I don’t close the Google Form till the start of school year:) #NZreadaloud can work in any environment BUT it is worth reading a little about HOW it works best. Some of the posts on this blog will help you understand the pedagogy. The Google Form is on the blog under Year 7/8 tab OR join the FB group as loads of info goes there too. Let me know if I can help any other way:)

  2. Kia ora Kerri, I’ve signed up for the Year 5 & 6 readaloud and haven’t heard anything so far. I’ve bought the book and started preparing but am wondering if my google form entry was received.

    • Hey Fiona
      All team leaders have been emailed their teams and I suggested they contact everyone either this week or early next. So you will hear from someone soon. Your team leader is Lisa Hayde and she is at St Pius X in Hamilton. She is awesome and will support you with what you need. Thanks for signing up:)
