Trinityhouse Glenvista learner launches her R BookHire programme
The first R BookHire book club event was hosted by Exclusive Books Mall of the South, and it was followed by a lunch provided by Spur, Mall of the South.
Reamoleboha Monethi, a learner at Trinityhouse Glenvista, launched her R BookHire programme at the Mall of the South on March 26.
Her first R BookHire book club event was at Exclusive Books in the Mall of the South, followed by a lunch provided by Spur, in the same mall.
Reamoleboha, currently in Grade Three, started the R BookHire programme in January.
According to Thando Mashinini, Reamoleboha started reading proficiently in Grade R. As a result, she has a collection of best-selling books from around the world.
“Rea, as she is fondly known, decided to start this initiative to help children to gain access to these books because it might be difficult for them to afford them. The initiative also hopes to instil a love of reading in young people because reading, to her, is the basis of all knowledge.
“R BookHire has a Kids BookClub attended by children who read books throughout a given time. They give prizes to the children who show the most growth based on the number of books they read during the period.
“Around 80% of the book club’s participants were TrinityHouse students in Grades Three to Five. The next club meeting will be in July during the school holidays, said Mashinini.
