Children from different schools and locations thronged to the respective libraries today to register their names as part of this year’s reading classes participants. At the Sumbrungu Community Library, participants came in their good numbers, after registering their names, we did a general reading exercise to identify each person’s reading ability to enable us group them in classes according to their reading abilities.
We read with participants for the start the story of Kente for a King. The lower primary pupils had their class under the Summer hut near the library entrance. The lower primary level pupils read Jafta’s Father and the Fati Series among other books. Some parents and headteachers were around to witnessed the beginning of the classes. They encouraged participants to take the classes serious and fully participate till the end.
