a collective movement to support young people who learn differently and celebrate the joy of reading.
On October 22, let’s come together to reach 6,000,000 minutes of shared reading across Canada.
Participation is easy and completely free. Sign up today!
- Visit The Great Read-Along and Join the Challenge.
- Register and commit to reading for 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes on October 22.
- On October 22, read what you enjoy, wherever you are, whenever it works for you.
- Registered participants will receive a link to free educational kits that provide high-value, turnkey literacy activities, making The Great Read-Along a meaningful and enriching shared experience.
Help us spread the word to reach our national goal of 6,000,000 minutes!
LDANL’s vision is to encourage individuals with learning barriers and unique needs to reach their full potential.
We’re here to help people experiencing barriers to learning and those who support them.
