Launching a Reading Program: For our reading program, we give enough books to each classroom in the school so that children can read every day. Often called "Sustained Silent Reading", this approach develops reading skills, a love of reading, and a habit of reading. We launch the program with a book party, show here. For one full morning or afternoon, our team reads aloud, talks about books, leads outdoor games, and teaches songs about books and reading. At the end, every child gets to choose a book of their own, in addition to the books we leave in the classrooms.

This event was sponsored by Anonymous (Australia). Thank you!

"You say we waddle, but we think we walk. You think we quack, but we think we talk. What are we?" That's one of the questions our reader is asking in the last picture, from the popular book What Am I?
