Miss South Africa Shudufhadzo Musida has teamed up with GrandWest to encourage reading in primary schools. Musida was on hand for a handover of books to the Riverton Primary School in Bishop Lavis.
Mini-libraries include 50 new books that will be placed in each classroom. These are new, age-appropriate books in different languages that encourage reading for pleasure.
Books are placed in a customised bookshelf and their use is managed by the class teacher via a reading tracker poster. At the end of the year, Read to Rise will revisit the school.Riverton Primary’s principal, Andrew Swartz, said the learners and teachers are grateful to GrandWest and Read to Rise for their assistance.
“Having this dedicated Interactive Classroom Programme and Mini-Libraries in classrooms will motivate our younger learners to read books, expand their knowledge and ultimately enjoy access to so many new books.”
