World Book Day should not break the bank – school

World Book Day is a time for celebration of literature, reading, and storytelling. It is a day when students and teachers alike can come together to share their favorite books and characters.

However, for many families, the cost of purchasing a new book or costume for their child to wear on World Book Day can be a burden. This is especially true for families with multiple children, or those who are struggling to make ends meet.

It is important for schools to recognize that not all families can afford to spend money on new books or costumes for their children. Instead, schools should focus on promoting a love of reading and storytelling through other means, such as holding book swaps, reading challenges, or inviting authors to speak at the school.

By taking the financial burden off of families, schools can ensure that every child has the opportunity to participate in World Book Day and celebrate the joy of reading without breaking the bank.
