Participating in the program, Ms. Linh Phuong shared: “Reading books with children and helping them to make friends with books is the concern of many parents and teachers. Listening to the shares of Mr. Hoang Trong Thuy and Ms. Nguyen Minh Thanh Nhan, I understand more about the importance of reading for children. Previously, I joined the project “Making friends with books” in the academic year of 2017 – 2018 at my school, and I witnessed real improvement in my students. Much love of books was grown; and they enthusiastically shared about their favorite ones. Thence, their communication abilities and writing skills truly improved”.

The workshop was organized for free and provided practical meaning, resulting in a large number of registrations. The organizing committee will hold a second session on September 28.
