My Project

My students are thrilled about reading! Reading exercises the brain. Lessons will be provided to understand different characters and setting while enjoying reading books. Reading is a workout for your brain that improves memory function. Books have the power to improve your vocabulary by introducing you to new words. The more you read, the more your vocabulary grows, along with your ability to effectively communicate. By reading books about protagonists who have overcome challenges, we are oftentimes encouraged to do the same. The right book can motivate you to never give up and stay positive, regardless of whether it’s a romance novel or a self-help book.

Reading is a key component of early literacy development and you can set an example of just how crucial this is by modeling the behaviour yourself.

Children are excellent at mimicking the adults around them which means that if you regularly set aside some "me time" for reading, your children will learn to do the same.
