Books Are Gold

Tuesday, March 17, 2015


To help promote the joy of reading, Kumon and First Book Canada have joined together in a literacy campaign during which they will distribute more than 10,000 books to schools and community based programs in Canada. As a part of this initiative, Kumon and First Book have been hosting reading celebrations in February and March at high needs elementary schools throughout the country. They were also so kind to send a small donation that I could give to my school library. This isn't the first time our school has been the recipient of donated books since First Book has provided our students with books on more than one occasion over the years. The students in our school community have greatly benefited and so it was an honour to be able to help make a small contribution on behalf of Kumon. The stuff is like paper gold!

If you would like to help spread the joy of reading, I am giving away a Kumon gift pack full of brand new books and supplies. (Open to Canada only.)

    No matter how much technology is brought into this house, nothing can replace books. Books will always be gold!

      I've had to give away some of the picture books that my kids have outgrown and it almost broke my heart. Wish I could keep them all.

    Even with all the technology books still remain very important! As much as I love my e-reader, there is still something comforting about holding the book and reading. (Judy Cowan)

    I started reading with my kids from birth. Technology, on the other hand, I held off as long as possible.

    Thank you for the linky. I read a lot on my Kobo, I do still read paper books as well. My daughter has a Kobo Mini, she hasnt' used it in months, she prefers paper books and we make weekly trips to the library, very proud that reading is so big in her life.

    I think reading is so important. I read to my kids all the time, and I try to make a point of them reading instead of playing on electronics.

    That's fantastic Diana! We were just talking about how books are still so very important last night at work (me and my student coworkers)! And how paper books are just soooo much better than digi-books.

    Nothing can replace books for sure.. I have a kindle; and I STILL prefer to pick up a paperback/hardcover for reading.. That love was instilled in me as a child, and I have never lost that :)
