Ask Suzette Cadiz, co-founder of the NGO Let’s Read, about the key to education and she will tell you: “pleasure reading.”
Decades of academic studies about reading back up her claims. Research shows that children who engage in pleasure reading excel academically.
Yet most primary schools in TT have no libraries. Reading is not encouraged in schools, and many elementary teachers say they have no time to read to children. If teachers do read, it is seen as something to do in “free time” rather than an integral part of the school day.
