Literacy and Language Development

Montessori students in our Pre-Casa and Casa programmes are given the opportunity to visit their school libraries once a week/cycle. During the library class they are read a story, discuss and answer questions about it, and are then invited to borrow a book to take home and read with their family. We are pleased to be able to offer the students libraries stocked with many wonderful books to stir the senses, inspire imagination and spark a love of reading that will last a lifetime! We believe this Rotary class is essential; reading skills lay the foundation for a child’s success inside, outside and beyond school. Reading comprehension ensures understanding of the written word and opens the doors for future success. As well, borrowing a book they must care for and then return helps the children learn about responsibility and trustworthiness.
