For the Love of Reading!
Reading is your very own time machine
The first sentence of a book will transport you to a different universe, a time and place you have never been before. And it only engulfs you further and further into their world.
Indonesia is not known for having the highest number of readers. Due to this minimal reading culture, Sekolah Pelita Harapan (SPH) Lippo Village holds an annual celebration called Book Week for the Junior School to embrace and celebrate a love for reading and books. It is a week filled with activities and events to spark students‘ and teachers’ interest and engagement with books.
With the tagline ‘Go and Grow,’ this year’s Book Week coordinator, Ms. Savannah McKinnon, specifically organized the event around the theme of Growing Reader, Growing Mind, and Growing Faith. Relevant to the SPH’s annual theme of Arise and Shine, the theme for Book Week derived from Isaiah 61:11, “For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.”
