British Council Promotes Culture of Reading Among Botswana’s Children
The British Council conducted a prize giving ceremony for pupils who had successfully completed its “Team Read” challenge, last Friday. In the “Team read” challenge, learners are made to read six books, and the participants are given a membership card to keep track of the books they have read. Each participant then provides an opinion on the book to their teachers, parents and peers. The Director of British Council Botswana, Tanya Dunne, said at the ceremony that after initiating the program and spreading it all over the world, the British Council has set it up in 23 countries, including Botswana. Forty-five learners were awarded prizes that included gold medals, certificates, watches and mathematical sets to celebrate their achievement.
The “Team Read” initiative is meant to inform children about the past times, improve their academic performance, their vocabulary and English language and also build their confidence. The program also encourages parents to take part in their children’s academic work and monitor their progress.
