Literacy Day Events!

Participating in the Guiness Book of World Records attempt for Literacy Day last week was truly an inspiring event. In Oakville the event was kicked off by a reading of Seven Hands, Seven Lands. Read by a seven year old to his grade two classmates it was exciting to see the reception the book received and the enthusiastic conversation about both the story and the artwork which it inspired. Hearing "that was a great book" from several of the grade two students was a real thrill and later hearing feedback from parents that the kids had talked of the reading of 'Seven Hands' at home was fantastic!! It was such fun to read the wonderful Robert Munsch stories to the children in order to participate in the world record attempt and overall it was a fun filled afternoon for adults and children alike...there really is nothing like reading some good books!
