Rev-Ben Hageria Memorial School in Isabel province successful staged a reading program called “Bibliobattle” last Friday.
Bibliobattle is a reading program promoted by JICA volunteer Hirofumi Masui working under the Isabel Education Authority.
It is a simple book review game. Some players talk about their favorite book for 5 minutes, then a winner is decided by vote.
On Friday students from grade4 to 6 played the game.
Five 5 books were discussed, and “Tome’s fish” gathered 26 votes and won.
In Isabel province, this reading program was held in 6 schools until now.
Mr Hirofumi said “Literacy is the basis of education. If teachers do Bibliobattle in classes repeatedly, students can not only read a lot of books but also be trained skills on speech and discussion.
“I hope all schools in Solomon Islands introduce Bibliobattle”
