My Project

My name is Mrs. Richardson and I am working with another teacher in my school to encourage students to read, read, read!

Students these days have so many responsibilities in their daily lives in and out of school.

We know that for some children, the time is takes to sit and read is often used on other things like taking care of a sibling or trying to catch up in class.

We would like to have some motivating prizes to encourage children in our school to understand the value of reading and have fun while doing so.

With these prizes, we plan to launch a few competitions to get the ball rolling. Your contribution towards this plan would really be helpful. Thank you.
