Grade 5 students at R.I. Baker Middle School in Coaldale were recently surprised with reading partners from the Lethbridge Bulls baseball team. Students were placed in small groups with the players who either read to the students or talked with students about the books they're reading. Some of the players shared what their favourite book in school has been and why they found it so interesting and entertaining. This was yet another way to encourage students of the importance, the benefits and the pleasures that are obtained from consistent reading.Huge thanks to the players for their time and visit.
