Children from Primaries 3 and 4 were told about Team Read by staff from two of the City’s Community Libraries.

Football Activity in the Gym HallBoth classes then had fun with word squares, colouring sheets and listening to a story. Under guidance of staff from the Youth Sports Development Team they took part in a football activity in the gym hall.

The success of the launch was summed up in the words of the Primary 4 Teacher who described it as:

Fabulous and that it was thoroughly
enjoyed by all her pupils
…”
