This morning we launched our ‘Time to Read’ programme. We have been selected by ‘Business in the Community’ as their school partner for this year. The company, who support businesses to engage with their local communities, is based on O’Connell Street. Each week from now on, they will send four volunteers to read with eight lucky 2nd Class children. These children will benefit from having someone to read to them on a one-to-one basis with specially chosen books to help promote a love of reading. The children will also have an opportunity to visit the Ilac library and the ‘Business in the Community’ offices. To find out more about the ‘Time to Read’ programme, have a look at their flyer:
