A new television monitor has been donated to George Lamming Primary School to support its RISE Reading Programme, with a reminder that digital tools should support, not replace, book reading and handwriting in building strong literacy.

Making the presentation at the school on the final day of term, area MP Marsha Caddle, patron of the RISE Reading Programme, said the TV monitor would complement the school’s literacy efforts while reinforcing the importance of traditional learning methods.

“You’ll see behind me a pretty large television monitor that we are contributing… to assist with the RISE reading programme,” she told students and staff.
