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 Caulfield South CSPS (Australia). Thank you!

Do you remember your first important book? The book that made you realize that books were the doorway to another world? By sponsoring a book party, you can provide that experience for an entire school of children in Laos.
