Summary:
The session focused on the July edition of the book review, with participants engaging in reading and reviewing selected books. The session aimed to enhance their reading comprehension and vocabulary.
Session Delivery:
The session commenced with an opening prayer, followed by the singing of the Itsekiri anthem. Toju Ani reviewed the previous session with the participants before assigning the role of librarian for the day to Besinfe Etuwewe.
Books were displayed on a table in front of the group, and participants took turns selecting their books. Their names, along with the chosen book titles, were recorded in the register by the librarian. Once they received their books, participants returned to their seats to read carefully, preparing for their reviews.
The review session was anchored by Toju Ani, while the librarian called out participants’ names in the order recorded in the register. Participants eagerly shared their thoughts on the stories, demonstrating their excitement and attention to detail.
A special Itsekiri NextGen dictionary was provided for participants who encountered unfamiliar words during their reading. They actively used the dictionary to look up new words and wrote down their meanings.
In this edition, participants were also required to use the new words they learned in sentences. Volunteers assisted those who struggled with forming correct sentences, helping clarify the meaning of the new vocabulary.
It was evident that the participants’ enthusiasm for reading continues to grow, and their language skills are improving as they engage with each session.
