3. Morning Pre-Assembly MT Book Sharing
To promote Mother Tongue reading, West Grove pupils are encouraged to bring a Mother Tongue storybook to read silently in the hall before flag raising on every Thursday and Friday. On top of that, teachers and students from all three Mother Tongue Language groups, ie. Chinese Language, Malay Language and Tamil Language, took turns to share their favourite Mother Tongue storybook to the school. More than 30 pupils from P2 to P6 would have shown their passion in reading Mother Tongue story books by conducting a book sharing during pre-assembly by end of term 4. There have been various forms of sharing: book reviews, book presentations, storytelling and video-audio clips. Our pupils have done a great job by sharing their knowledge and showing their fellow schoolmates that reading can be light-hearted and fun.
