A child’s reading skills are important to their success in school as they will allow them to access the breadth of the curriculum and improve their communication and language skills. In addition, reading can be a fun and imaginative time for children, which opens doors to all kinds of new worlds for them.
Studies show that reading for pleasure makes a big difference to children’s educational performance. Likewise, evidence suggests that children who read for enjoyment every day not only perform better in reading tests than those who do not, but also develop a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge and a better understanding of other cultures.
The following communities will begin the road to the quarterfinals stage; Apatrapa, Oduom, Techiman, Tafo, Aboabo, Duase, Krofrom, Kotei, Patasi, Ohwim, Ohwimase, Asokwa, Abrepo, Anomangye and Buokrom.
