Power of Reading
�Reading for pleasure, achievement for life�
The power of reading has raised achievement in over 2500 schools across Nigeria and internationally. The power of reading have transformed the way the teachers teach and the way children feel about reading and writing. For too long, many primary school children in Nigeria have been allowed to fall behind reading.
Most of us read without even thinking about it. It�s a skill we take for granted, yet one that�s essential for being able to get on in life. As a child grows up, being able to read well not only enables them to discover new fact and to learn at schools, but also opens them up to a world of new ideas, stories and opportunities. All pupils must be encouraged to read widely across both fiction and non-fiction to develop their knowledge of themselves and in world in which they live, to establish an appreciation and love of reading. Reading also feeds pupils imagination and opens up a treasure-house of wonder and joy for curious young minds.
