Just like every year in February, our Preschool and Cycle I Departments celebrated the World Read Aloud Day. This effort is brought by a non-profit organization, Litworld, and sponsored by Scholastic, to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and reading through reading aloud. Our students enjoyed this day through its many activities; our preschoolers brought their favorite books from home, did a show-and-tell, and read stories in the playground with their Arabic teachers, dressed up as their favorite princesses. Likewise, our Cycle I students visited the library and read aloud their favorites books. They also read their home-brought stories outdoors, recited the Reading Pledge, and promised to become avid readers.
