Last year the Minister of Education launched a reading campaign. The campaign was to encourage the community of South Africa to be a reading nation. Events were held in different parts of the province and involved churches, libraries, traditional leadership and schools.
It is imperative to teach children reading at early ages. The Limpopo Department of Education will hand-over the Reading Trolley and the Reading Corners with over 1000 books to two schools in Limpopo Province. The Trolley and the Corners are donated by the MacMillan Education Company.
The Reading Trolley with 350 books can be moved from one grade to the other as the books are meant for foundation levels (Grade 1 – 3). While one school received the Trolley the other one received the Reading Corners. Reading Corner for Grade R has 40 books, grade 1 with 90, Grade 2 with 120 while grade 3 has 140 graded books.
The hand-over will take place on the 27th October 2016 as follows:
Venue 1:
Mzimhlope Primary School
Sephaku Village
Sekhukhune Districts
Time: 7h30
Venue 2:
