Pupils of the San­gre Grande Gov­ern­ment EC­CE Cen­tre read Dr. Seuss’ There’s No Place Like Space: All About Our So­lar Sys­tem aloud with Po­lice Con­sta­ble Dar­i­on Thomas for this years Read Aloud Day.

This year’s theme, “Cel­e­brate Learn­ing,” was re­flect­ed in the ses­sion, which Thomas said sparked cu­rios­i­ty, en­cour­aged a love for read­ing, and sup­port­ed ear­ly learn­ing through ex­plo­ration and imag­i­na­tion.

“The im­por­tance of lit­er­a­cy from my per­spec­tive is that it en­ables per­sons to nav­i­gate through life eas­i­er. When you know how to read, it be­comes eas­i­er to un­der­stand and com­pre­hend ba­sic dai­ly tasks,” he said.
