World Read Aloud Day happens in early February every year. It was started by the LitWorld.org website in 2010 and has now reached 65 countries. 
Its aim is to encourage the almost 800 million people worldwide who cannot read to enjoy the benefits of a book. 
LitWorld says: "Celebrate by reading aloud, giving away a book, or taking action in any way you can to Read It Forward on behalf of the 793 million people who cannot read." 
The website asks us to "imagine a world where everyone can read". It says: "World Read Aloud Day asks everyone to celebrate the day by grabbing a book, finding an audience, and reading out loud. It is about taking action to show the world that the right to read and write belongs to all people."
