WORLD READ ALOUD DAY 2017
To commemorate 2017 World Read Aloud Day, dreams from the slum initiative hosted children living in slum communities in Lagos, Oyo and Ogun State on the 16th of February through the different state co-ordinators and volunteers.
The sessions were filled with so much fun and the children learnt new words.
The theme of the read aloud which is "Celebrating the power of Words" was an avenue for the children not just to learn new words added to their vocabularies but for them to know the meaning of such words.
The
children were taught new words and their meanings, they made examples
and learnt to use the words in sentences. Thereafter, they read aloud to
each other. It was an illuminating experience for them as they learnt
to properly pronounce words as seen in the novel
titled ''Back at school"
The story teaches obedience and the children learnt that always being
obedient to their elders brings God's blessings. They also learnt about
the importance of reading everyday not just on word read aloud day and they recited and memorised the
mantra "Always develop a reading habit".
