As part of the nationwide reading aloud day, numerous reading events are taking place throughout Germany today. Under the motto "Unique together", the Klax School is participating in this campaign again this year.
After two digital years, the students of the Klax School are looking forward to visiting the daycare centers and preschools in the area today and reading to the children there.
For all book fans, more than 30 students have recorded 24 videos with readings of their favorite books in the school's podcast room over the past two weeks. The result is a colorful bouquet of reading contributions, a total of 4 hours of listening fun. From children's books for little listeners to classics and fantasy novels, there's something for everyone.
Have fun listening and watching.
