As the pupils listen to the stories read to them, their desire and love to read develops. And this could be possible. This had happened in the school children of Balabag Elementary School in La Carlota City Division in their recent reading activity. Not only the pupils enjoyed reading, but the storytellers did too in the said reading day.
Every November, the Department of Education (DepEd) has observed as the National Reading Month to support the Ten-Point Agenda of the Aquino Administration and to commemorate the birth anniversary of the late Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr. who was born on November 27, 1932, and to celebrate his ardent desire for reading, according to the Regional Memorandum No. 167, s. 2014 disseminated by John Arrnold S. Siena, Director III, Officer-in-Charge of the Office of the Regional 6 Director.
In compliance, the Balabag Elementary School, Division of La Carlota City conducted a reading session for its pupils during their recess period, though, it was late on the scheduled day, November 27 due to the heavy rains brought by a Tropical Depression "Queenie" which affected the Southern part of Visayas.
