Engaging Kids with Reading activities
On December 20th, Middle school students in Long Island had a reading competition. After reading selected books: Hz. Muhammed(sav), Hz. Hatice, and Hz. Ali, students competed to test their knowledge on these three books.
The goal was to keep them engaged with reading and encourage them to read books on a daily basis. They all did really well and enjoyed the program. We wish them best of luck in future book competitions.
