Why read? Well, the 2006 Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) revealed that students who spend more time for reading excel better in terms of reading, mathematics, and science* Make reading a priority every day, but especially enjoy the Family Literacy Week events coming up in Sicamous and Salmon Arm: donate books to "Heap the Honda Children's Book Drive (Piccadilly Mall), games night at the Salmon Arm Downtown Activity Centure and Piccadilly Mall public library, Play Again, film documentary (connecting children with nature), Parkview Elementary, 6-7pm (Tue., Jan. 24th), and much, much more!
