Reading for pleasure boosts literacy skills, wellbeing, and confidence. Yet, 1 in 7 state primary schools in the UK doesn’t have a library 📚 We’re excited to become part of the Libraires for Primaries campaign, a literacy initiative founded by National Literacy Trust and Penguin Random House UK. Our funding will support a primary school in Tower Hamlets to set up a library filled with new and exciting books! Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/efDss5vi

Reading while school is not in session is so important.

Salut les franco-ontariens! Que tu travailles dans un Conseil scolaire de l'Ontario français, que tu sois parent d'enfants francophones, quelqu'un du domaine des bibliothèques ou simplement quelqu'un qui pense à l'avenir de la francophonie de la province, la réflexion qui suit est pour toi. Ce n'est pas un secret que les écoles sont essentielles pour préparer les jeunes pour leurs avenirs. En assurant la formation professionnelle de nos enseignants et en les épaulant avec les ressources pédagogiques dont ils ont besoin (#CFORP), nos jeunes auront la chance d'atteindre leurs objectifs post-secondaires. Autre que les enseignants, nos écoles ont d'autres professionnels qui supportent le bien-être et l'apprentissage de nos jeunes. Les bibliothèques scolaires aident les élèves dans leur apprentissage en supportant le curriculum, en plus de leur autonomie d'apprentissage. Quand les ressources sont désuètes et qu'on offre pas d'outils en ligne pour supporter leur apprentissage, les jeunes franco-ontariens ne sont pas sur un pied d'égalité avec leurs contemporains des conseils scolaires en anglais. Si les bibliothèques scolaires au travers de la province souffrent, imaginez un peu la situation dans les bibliothèques scolaires des conseils francophones.

While school efforts to promote literacy are crucial, the most powerful forces that create lifelong readers begin and end at home. The aesthetic and humanity of reading precedes and proceeds the skill. Below are ways parents can support reading at home. https://bit.ly/2UglJae
