What are you reading? 👀📚
During September we observe National Literacy Month.
👉 So, why is this so important?
👀 Here are just a few reasons:
1. our children are no longer reading daily, which causes them to struggle with understanding the basics of their language
2. not reading regularly prevents the development of comprehension (understanding) skills
3. in turn, this leads to an inability to follow instructions, or properly apply the information they are taught
4. this leads to poor academic results and low self-esteem - and will affect your child's development, motivation and mental well-being.

At The Y Collab Youth Academy, we are deeply passionate about reigniting the culture of daily reading - especially for our children and youth.
Reading offers so many benefits - from teaching new information
and the way our language works, to improving our communication skills.
By reading daily, you'll gain these benefits without any additional effort! 🙌🏾
Also, a reminder that reading doesn't have to (and certainly shouldn't) be boring!
😁 Even comics can teach us something new and exciting.
The more interesting the book, the higher the chance that you'll want to read some more...
So, choose a topic or title that interests you, and go on an adventure with your book today!
