Program Instills Love of Reading in Students
Bowie, Md.—Northview Elementary School fifth-grader Dajayla Ingram wasn’t fond of reading last year.
“Last year I didn’t feel like reading. I was being lazy,” the Bowie student said.
But this year, motivated by a new initiative at the Bowie school that encourages and rewards independent time spent reading, 10-year-old Dajayla said she likes discussing the books with friends and regularly spends free time at home reading.
