SM Malls in Bulacan Holds National Children’s Book Reading Day
In celebration
of the National Children’s Book Reading Day, SM Malls in Bulacan conducted a
storytelling activity to promote and rediscover the joy of reading books to the
pupils of their chosen Public Elementary School. Bulakeño
kids had fun while learning as guest storytellers were invited to bring stories
to life and to share the moral lessons to students aged 4-8 year old.
“Book reading is a celebration of learning.
In this day and age when videos and pictures are becoming more prevalent, we
must commit to enforce reading to our children, who will be our future leaders” SM City San Jose del Monte Mall Manager
Jose Mari Emmanuel H. Correa said.

1. Kicking
off the two-part storytelling was the reading of Robert Magnuson’s Duck and Croc Meet Collector Alligator, an
inspiring story about Duck and Croc, who are best of friends. The kids joined
in their adventure on how Duck teaches Croc in using their imagination after
not finding a Pixie Horse toy that Collector Alligator hoards from every single
store.
Actress,
TV Host, and anchor Diane Medina graced the storytelling and share lessons not
only to the children but also to the teachers and guardians present in the
celebration. “It is important that we
bring back our children into book reading in which they could get proper
information and could widen their vocabulary. Please help SM raise this
awareness on how important book reading is, especially in today’s generation
that we are living in a much modernized world where everything and everyone is
in technology.” Medina shares after reading the first story.
