If there is anything that is needed in Dominica is the ability for the young generation of today, to learn to read with perfect comprehension–otherwise tomorrow’s mature adults is in big trouble–that is if that problem does not already exist; I am afraid to say that it does seem so.
When I read the writing style and expression of the majority of bloggers on DNO–as I read the height of “numeric” used for verbal terms (words) the height of broken English, and the abbreviations instead of the complete “word or term” as a teacher, I view these practices as the inability to spell and to express one’s self– all of this have to do with “literacy lacking”; that level is extremely frightening
Let us hope that the schools can help overcome this problem before it gets worst–not only should the children be encouraged to spell and read, they need to learn to express the thoughts in writing as well–this lack is a serious problem that is getting worse and worse,
Congrats love. Continue to keep up the good work. Shanda did it last year, it’s your turn. Take it away lighthouse!
great job aim high there is room at the top.
I am still awaiting the results from Monday, June 16, 2014’s competition. Thanks though for the two other updates.
DNO, can you please let us know where the Lighthouse Christian Academy is located? Thank you.
Congrats to all the participating schools and keep up the good work. Reading is so very important in everyday living.
