Reading Under a Tree Project! 

The Club hosted its first Reading Under a Tree Project by the Residence of Mrs. Bernadine Van Veen! 

The kids that attended also brought some of their own books which were read in both English and Dutch! The kids were also encouraged to read their books out loud 

The benefits of encouraging children to read are:
- Vocabulary growth
- Brain Development 
- Empathy & Emotional Regulation
- Imagination & Critical Thinking

The event was enjoyed by all who participated! The kids who attended also received goody bags


Thank you to everyone who assisted with the reading and organizing of the project! And special thanks to Mrs. Bernadine Van Veen for giving us the opportunity to use her residence for this wonderful project! 👏🏼
