School Program 2007
September 24, 2007 - September 27, 2007
Young readers are an important part of THIN AIR’s audience. Literacy is an important skill, but reading also takes kids to worlds that aren’t their own, and helps develop empathy, wit, imagination, and a sense of play. Canada has some of the finest writing for kids, and we make it available—in English and French! Les jeunes lecteurs sont une partie importante de l’auditoire de THIN AIR. L’alphabétisation est une habileté importante, mais la lecture transporte également les enfants dans d’autres mondes et participe à l’acquisition de l’empathie, de la présence d’esprit, de l’imagination et du sens du jeu. Le Canada compte certains des meilleurs écrivains pour les jeunes et nous vous les présentons — en anglais et en français.
