The Forest of Reading is Canada’s largest recreational reading program! This initiative offers ten reading programs to encourage a love of reading in people of all ages. The Forest helps celebrate Canadian books, publishers, authors and illustrators. More than 270,000 readers participate annually from their school and/or public library.
Our class, participated in the Blue Spruce reading program which we read 10 fictional stories from Canadian authors and illustrators. We each got to vote for our favourite and sent our results in with those that also participated at South Perth! We love a chance to read new, exciting stories!
The winner this year was just announced this past week and the winner of the Blue Spruce award was:
This book certainly won the hearts of many of our Busy Bee readers who voted for this as their favourite! Congratulations to all the nominees on their wonderful books!
To celebrate, we had a little ice cream sandwich party on Friday afternoon! Thanks to School Council fundraising to help get these books into the lives of our little readers and get the opportunity to participate and have their say to instill the love of reading!
