Readers for Life
Dear Sec 1 Parents:
As some parents were not able to attend the Parents’ Symposium on January 16th and may not be aware, we are implementing our Readers for Life program with all the Sec 1 students at Hwa Chong Institution.
If you were at the presentation, then you already know that parents are the most important factor in determining whether their children are readers. The school would like to work with you to ensure the success of our reading program and the ultimate benefits gained from this lifetime pursuit.
As a parent, your role would be simple. We would look for your support in the area of discussing your reading habits as an adolescent, how your reading has changed over the years, favorite genres, authors or books you would like to share with your son. There will be a formal interview in which your son will be tasked with speaking to a parent and determining which book they read as an adolescent that either influenced them in life or perhaps still resonates with them today. If you really feel strongly about a certain title and would like to address the class, consider this an open invitation.
The other way you can show support is by taking a genuine interest in what your son is reading. As teachers we will provide modeling, books, various other reading materials, and motivation. All we ask is that you keep reading in the forefront at the home as well. This can also be accomplished by visiting your son’s blog in which he will link to weread.com. Take the time to browse his electronic bookshelf and engage him in his reading choices.
And finally, we are planning a mid-year book sale. Book ownership is a hallmark of this program and we would like the opportunity to renew and refresh reading materials. If you would like to donate books, expertise or a helping hand in the library, we would love your participation and I know it would mean a great deal to the students as well.
Thank you for participating in our Readers for Life program. Individually we can impact your sons’ reading; together, we hold the key to developing lifetime readers.
Yours truly,
Rodger Spelmer, Language Consultant

Mr Spelmer,
I'm the parent of 1A106 and I fully support your idea of a reading programme but am unable to make a commitment for now, due to my work. My missus, however, is happy to help out with the book sale, depending on the day and time you are planning to hold this. Thank you.

This is 1P431.I support the Reading for Life Programme.
I'm not sure if I can donate as I need to ask my father who is in overseas and will only be coming back on 27th Feb, this Friday but I think I can call him and ask him on the phone but it may not work because he usually does not pick up his phone when I call him because his in a meeting etc. I'll try my best but no definite answer. Will tell you more later, Mr. Splemer.This is 1P426.
I will be sharing some books with my son to cultivate my son's interest.
