What is Forest of Reading?
Are you in for a treat! FOR (Foreset of Reading) is a national, for the love of reading, READING program. Run by library associations across the country, students from different age groups read a group of books from nominated authors in order to vote for a winner in the spring. Yes! Children vote for thier favourite book in the group of nominated books, and they choose the winner! The festival will run in the spring online this year where students can meet their favourite authors. Books must be read by mid-April to vote. The official FOR voting day is April 23rd! More details to follow about the festival.
Books can be borrowed from our Terry Fox Library Learning Commons, ebooks online on Sora, online on Epic Kids and from the Public Library or using their many online virtual resources! Students and parents can be directed to the information posted on our Community Virtual LLC
