Make reading enjoyable

February 5 marks as Read Aloud Day. The Jabavu Reporter visited Thandi’s Day Care Centre based at Diepkloof. The main purpose was to read aloud a book to group three crèche learners.

Read Aloud Day aims to promote the culture of reading and improves children’s vocabulary.

Through reading, we can build a nation and the late Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”



The story is about a little girl who was the prettiest and her mother and grandmother loved her dearly.

She had a little red hood that suited her and everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood.

One day she went to visit her grandmother because she was sick and took some cookies and a homemade jar of jelly, on her way she saw a wolf.

The wolf pretended to be nice to her and the little girl told the wolf that she is going to visit her grandmother in another village and the wolf made Little Red Riding Hood take a longer path and he took a short path.

The wolf ate the grandmother and pretended to be the grandmother when the little girl arrived.

The wolf told Little Red Riding Hood to put cookies and jar of jelly in the kitchen as the wolf was about to eat the little girl, the woodcutter came with an axe and killed the wolf.
