Organisation description:
We instil the love of reading in children age 5-12 by encouraging them to read daily, using targets and reward systems. Helping children who have just migrated into the UK to blend into the system and fall in love with reading, meet with children who are avid readers in the library once a month to discuss books, and become of like minds.
Promoting creative writing and making young authors through weekly online creative writing lesson and annual contests. Children are encouraged to use their imaginations and are taught grammar lessons.
