Lagos takes ‘Read Aloud’ to pry schools

The founder of iRead, Ms Funmi Ilori, who took the participating pupils through a session of songs and rhymes, noted that the initiative, which started during COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, is taken to schools in communities across the state.

Ilori introduced the iRead Mobile Library to the pupils, saying “it goes to different communities where people can visit and take books away to read and return them later.” Addressing pupils in one of the classes in the school, the Director-General of the OEQA, Mrs Abiola Seriki-Ayeni, said everyone was expected to read for at least 20 minutes daily.

The DG also encouraged the pupils to “write your own stories as well. But before you can be a good writer, you must be a good reader.” Speaking to selected pupils at the main event venue, Seriki-Ayeni said, “Every person you know that has become great in life was a reader at some point of their lives.”All rights reserved.
