CuentaCuentos in Montessori Fresnos with Year 7s

We just hope you enjoyed the special lesson today brought to you by "Chan Lee". We have learnt an important lesson when we were playing, singing, dancing and makings jokes...that lesson was the importance of reading books. 


It is how we discover new things. Reading is vital in developing a good self image.

Being able to read is a crucial skill in being able to function in today's society. It is important because it develops the mind and develops the imagination.

A person who knows how to read can educate themselves in any area of life they are interested in.

Non readers or poor readers often have low opinions of themselves and their abilities. They feel isolated and behaviour problems can surface. As we live in an age overflowing with information, reading is the main way to take advantage of it.

"Reading, like no other medium, can transform your life in a flash, and you never know which book, at which time in your life, might be the one that rocks your world and inspires you to grow in ways you never thought possible."  --- Burke Hedges.
