Let’s read

Reading is power. With the help of SAY Play’s academic support program and tutors like Ms. Diane and Ms. Caroline, students are challenged to become strong readers.

To celebrate March is reading month, SAY Play rolled out special activities that encouraged reading and comprehension of the stories students explore. After finishing a book, students completed an activity that reinforced their understanding of the text. Students earned incentive points for their work. Thanks to our education team at SAY Play for fostering a love of reading!
