At Zebar,We celebrated World Book Day by focusing on different authors and reading from a variety of books. The children of grade 8 took part in various fun and creative reading and writing opportunities to promote a love of books and reading not just for pleasure but also for a purpose. Children read not only with their classmates but with children in different classes. They were given an opportunity to share and read various books.
