Norup Students Take An Adventure In Reading

On Tuesday, March 18, as part of March is Reading Month, Norup students enjoyed the Adventures in Reading Assembly Show, by Doug Scheer. This assembly was a show focused on making reading and language arts fun. The emphasis was not merely on books, but also on reading itself, from the alphabet all the way through nouns, verbs and adjectives. This interactive assembly required student participation, including activities where they put on pieces of costumes, used props to spell and even experienced magic acts where props disappeared. Some of the activities even revolved around different stories, concluding with the legend of King Arthur, where students attempted to remove a box containing a crown. Throughout the presentation, the importance of reading was shared with students, leaving them with a greater understanding of why it is essential to read and the beneficial experiences that come from doing so.
