Calgary Reads

What an awesome idea! A beautifully restored heritage house dedicated to the love of reading. The decor is just amazing. Lots of things for children to do and a ton of books to enjoy. Curling up in the Sunflower Room" with my daughter to read a couple of books was the highlight of my day!"

It was truely special sitting with a small group of grades 1 and 2 yesterday - sharing a book. This Rundle Elementary School was selected for Calgary Reads Reading Rally - as at least 50% of students are not reading at Grade Level. (The ESL teacher told me there were at least 25 different languages spoken here.) Calgary Reads does a great job at getting volunteers from the Community to assist these late readers. My past client and childrens auther Gordon Perry (The Funny Farm) read to all the students, and I was able to sponsor 100 books to give to the Grades 1 and 2's. Awesome in many many many way. YES - Calgary Reads!
