Turn those busy young minds into busy bees at home
READ Educational Trust is pleased to give parents and children across South Africa access to a series of home activities during the period of mandatory lockdown.
As the world is faced with the devastation that is Covid-19, one thing is becoming very clear: self-isolation could well stop this highly contagious virus in its tracks.
But how do we keep our children positively engaged during this time?
READ Educational Trust believes the key is to keep enquiring young minds active.
For this reason, READ Educational Trust is pleased to give parents and children across South Africa access to a series of home activities called Busy ‘B’ Home Activities, during the period of mandatory lockdown.
Available through links on all the trust’s websites and social media pages, the Busy ‘B’ Series is set to help you keep your children positively engaged at home.

Best of all? Every activity is free.
READ is catering for children from Grade Four through to high school.
Types of activities include a self-discovery game, to stimulate conversation and set imaginations alive; a newspaper race game, treasures in our lives (encouraging gratitude in our children), and people we treasure, and many more.
All the Busy ‘B’ activities are sourced from the hugely successful Readathon Red Reading Box series.
Released annually for the past seven years, the Red Reading Boxes are filled with activities, games and stories to encourage reading skills and literacy in children from Grade Four through high school.
For those parents who would like to find out more about the Red Reading Box series, visit https://thereadshop.co.za/, where they may be purchased.
With every literacy product purchased, 100 per cent of profits will be used by READ to further their literacy promotion in disadvantaged communities.
