Junior College Preschool in Sandton recently celebrated book day with all the children dressed up as their favourite characters.
The children also donated a book to the new pre-primary library.
Jordan Moodley dressed up as the little pig from The three little pigs – he also brought along some bricks to build his house.
Sofia Ward dressed up as a Princess and read her book in the new library.
Tabitha Cairns, principal of Junior College Preschool Sandton said it is important for children to should enjoy reading. “Encouraging children to love reading from a young age is beneficial to their early childhood development.
“Reading exercises their brains, improves their vocabulary and language skills, develops and stimulates a child’s imagination and teaches the child to have a sense of empathy.”
