Gather round, folks. Let's play a game!

Who is holding their pencil correctly between slide 1-5?

This game was inspired by 😉

Grateful for another month!
August is going to be spectacular!

What other adjectives would you describe August as? Speak it into existence!👇

We love these memes and just had to jump on it. Hold this one first, while we return with others (or not)🤭

Fun fact: the Mr Men books were such a lovely read back in the day.
Do you have any Mr Men books in your library?

Building your child's library is an important mission.
You want to have a variety of books at their disposal; fiction, topic books, fairytales, poetry, amongst others.

Need recommendations for this? Send a DM.

Smashing them or nah?

Don't worry, there's still time to fix it. Start now. Pick a book and start reading.

Welcome to June 😊🙌

Hey ho!!

Just popped in to say that we didn't forget Stories and Tales for May. We just decided to hold it tomorrow instead.

So, catch us here tomorrow at 3:30pm where will be reading with .

Everything we do here on this page, is about the children so we can't help but celebrate them on this special day.

Children are God's heritage, gifts that keep giving and we are so privileged to serve them here at GZ Literacy Tribe.
Happy Children's Day!!!

It's always a pleasure to see characters in a book you've read, come to life on screen. I felt some type of way while watching Anatomy of A Scandal. Loved the adaptation.

Here are a few popular movies that were adapted from books: Gone Girl, Handmaid's Tale, Lord of the Rings, YOU, Safe, Carrie, Bridgerton, Anatomy of a Scandal, Americanah, 50 Shades of Grey, Behind Her Eyes, amongst others.

If you do end up reading them, make sure to place the movies side by side and come up with your verdict. 😊

Today, on books: what would make you read a book till the end?

The title, characters, plot, lessons?

Please share below.👇

Just because we loved this book so much, we decided to put it up for everyone to see.
We read it last week Saturday with during our April Edition of Stories and Tales. You can catch the recorded version on our page.

The book is suitable for children of all ages.

What do you think?

Books over Toys: yay or nay?

Happy International Women's Day to every woman out there.
Let's break the bias.💪

Still in honour of World Book Day, let's have some fun with words. How many words can you make from "unbelievable"? Drop them in the comments section. Leggo💃💃💃

P.S: should we drop another reel tomorrow?🙈

Dear book lovers,

Today is the day set aside to celebrate what we love the most.
So, as we celebrate World Book Day, please give a shout-out to your favourite book or author.

Thank them for keeping us entertained on those nights sleep couldn't find us, on those days when we wanted to travel into a different world.

Thank them.

Happy World Book Day, Tribers!

Did you know? World Book Day is happening this Thursday. Whoop!

Your child's school is probably going to have something planned for the day so even if you don't do anything special to commemorate it as parents, do well to ask them about the day and whatever events took place.
It could be something to bond about.

"When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young."
- Maya Angelou.

This is your Monday motivation to pick up that book and read.

It's the last Saturday of the month!

Turn on post notifications. Get your popcorn, get your kids to make it a date with us tomorrow by 4pm.

We will be reading a classic😁
See you there!

Experts say that one way to get your children more involved in reading is taking them along when going book shopping.
Your children get to have say in the choice of books and YOU get to have a say when they don't finish the book as agreed, considering that it was their choice.🤭

It's a win-win, yeah?

So, again we ask: when last did you go book shopping...with your kids?

When children are learning to read, they read everything and anything they see. You will find them reading the signs on doors, on the road and even trying to peek into your phone to read. We all went through that stage, when we were curious about words around us.
Now, we barely even glance at signs when we walk into a place.
How many times have you gone into a shop and totally ignored the instruction on the door?
Guilty or Not guilty? 😄

May we never lose our wonder when it comes to reading.

💯 true.

It's Friday, curl up with a book, will ya? 😁🥰

It's amazing that Enid lived and died before some of us were born, but she still has an immense impact on us till now.

Many of us grew up reading Enid's books, many of our kids still read her books and she's been gone for over four decades.

Does this tell you something? That perhaps one way to immortalise yourself in the sands of time is to create a lasting legacy. Enid's books will continue to influence children many years from now. Because of her stories, she lives on.

How many Enid Blyton books did you read while growing up? Which was your favourite?

PS: I loved anything about Naughty Amelia Jane.

Everybody is talking about valentine and love today, so we decided to ask this question.
Romance is a familiar category for adults and young adults. Do you think there should be romance stories for kids?

What are your thoughts on this?

Let us know in the comments👇

We've been getting feedback from some contestants parents' and we have found them very refreshing. Some of the contestants are diligent with their reading and tracking their reading. Others are visiting the library more often than usual, and this gives us so much joy because this is the WHY.

This is why we set up the competition: to celebrate readers and encourage those with the reading culture.

We still need more sponsors to make this a bigger deal than it already is. We want to celebrate more children, if possible. Every child deserves to win something.

If you would love to be a sponsor, kindly send us a DM or email us at [email protected].

What book has made you feel this way?

Tap twice if you agree🤣🤣😂😂

Btw, our reading competition is currently ongoing and best believe the contestants are having fun. 🤭

Wise words from Winnie-the-Pooh this Monday.

Have you read any Winnie-the-Pooh books? We hear they make good bedtime stories!

Getting lost within the pages of a book is a great way to de-stress.
What book will you be getting into this weekend? 😁

There a re books and there are books. What is that book you read recently that you won't forget in a hurry?

For us, it's Handa's Surprise by Eileen Browne which we read during our January segment of Stories and Tales. Haven't read it? You can drop by our IGTV to listen to us read the story and talk about it.

Our competition officially begins today and we are excited about it.

Our contestants are geared and ready to go. We wish them all the best!🙌
