At a kindergarten in Brooklyn, the NYC Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza celebrated with students. Students are generally taught to use their inside voices, but on Wednesday, the students at PS 1 Bergen were encouraged to speak up -- through the power of reading. "When you read someone else's story and you hear their experiences, it helps you understand what they've been through," kindergarten teacher Lunisol Tavarez said. Carranza read to a group of kindergartners in celebration of Black History Month and World Read Aloud Day. The nonprofit LitWorld started World Read Aloud Day in 2010 to create community, advocate for literacy as a basic human right and to amplify new stories.
