My Project

In after-school reading programs aimed at enhancing literacy skills, the provision of snacks is indispensable. Snacks not only offer essential nutritional support, but they also serve as fuel for optimal learning. Nutrient-rich options like fruits and whole grains sustain energy levels, enabling students to concentrate and engage actively in reading activities. Moreover, snacks create positive associations with the reading experience, motivating students to participate eagerly. Sharing snacks fosters social interaction and community building, enriching the learning environment and promoting important social skills. Ultimately, integrating snacks into after-school reading programs not only nourishes students' bodies but also nurtures their minds and spirits, fostering a lasting appreciation for reading.
