In her address at the opening ceremony, Senior Education Officer at the Curriculum Department, Aldia Dyer stressed the need to develop competency in Reading from a very early age.
She said the Reading Competition has been beneficial to the students and the Education Sector.
Mrs. Dyer said Parents, Guardians and Education Officials must ensure that they continue to provide assistance to struggling readers.
The COURTS Reading competition is into its 7th year and the winner of the local leg will travel to Dominica to compete in the regional leg of the COURTS OECS Reading competition.
