Book Week 2022

THE LOVE OF READING

Each year it is such an exciting time around SPH Pluit Village when book week finally arrives. Teachers, students, and parents all come together to celebrate books and develop a lifelong love of reading and deepen our understanding of reading.

Book week is a special celebration that allows students to see the positive impact that reading has and have fun with different activities in class.

Book week is a time when students can see reading in a new and interesting way and it all culminates in our end-ofbook week assembly and dress-up day.

Each activity is planned in order for students to get a different experience of reading and see the different ways that reading can be appreciated and see that reading does not have to be an event that is done alone but is even better when experienced with others.

This year’s theme, find your treasure, was kept in mind during the entire week. This theme changes the way teachers encourage students and shows students that there is more to books and reading and that we need to be searching for what isn’t apparent right away.

Books are full of hidden meaning and full of more knowledge that needs to be found. This is a skill that allows students to find the hidden meaning in any story and ultimately allows students to find a deeper hidden meaning in God’s word.

The ultimate goal is for students to be able to use these skills throughout our book week in their times while reading God’s word and see that there is a much deeper meaning that God intended for us to have, and we can delight in this fact and constantly be seeking what we have not yet found.

Happy Reading!
