Reading Month Celebration

INTRODUCTION
“The National Reading Month serves as a reminder to us in light of our performance that we
must double our efforts to close the learning gap, particularly in the area of reading, which is the
cornerstone of learning,” said DepEd Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones. In connection with this
celebration, South City Central School is committed to support, to participate through initiating
Reading Programs that accord to the 2021 NATIONAL READING MONTH with the theme “Every
child reads amidst the challenges of Pandemic”. Teachers in different grade levels collaborated to
create series of videos of Reading Approaches accordingly. Teachers also provide easy access of
reading materials to the parents and learners. Parents were asked to join the Opening of the Reading
