Our annual celebration of literacy – Spring Into Reading – is back and better than ever!  This March programme is a joint effort by the CDNIS Teacher-Librarians and the Canadian International School Parents’ Association’s World of Words (WOW) literacy committee.  Our goals are to promote the value and enjoyment of reading through a variety of fun, educational activities and to make the world a better place by taking positive action to improve literacy across the world.

Below are links to various Spring Into Reading documents you might want to print out, especially the Book Review Lucky Draw templates.  Please note that there is a slightly different template for each grade, so please print out the appropriate one for your child’s grade.

If you have any questions or feedback you would like to share, or if you wish to volunteer with any of the programmes or activities in March, please contact World of Words Chair Tammi Williams at 6391-4257 or tammi.williams@cispa.hk. 

Happy reading!
