Stories about love and family abound in the special Read-Along session held in Marikina City last Friday to launch the Zonta Club of Marikina’s literacy program.
Dubbed “Mother Goose a DEAR (Drop Everything and Read),” the program is aimed at encouraging mothers to read to their children.
With about 60 children from the Kapitan Moy Elementary School and around the same number of parents in attendance, the session featured singer Jeffrey Hidalgo, award-winning writer and former director of the University of the Philippines’ Institute of Creative Writing Prof. Vim Nadera, children’s book author May Tobias-Papa and Adarna storyteller Dyali Justo.
