Friendly letters for young readers in IIE serial story
CLASS ACT Bench-Inquirer in Education Serial Reading Program partner teachers at the preseries “Teaching with the Newspaper” workshop at the Inquirer office
It’s back! Our story-in-chapters for Inquirer’s young readers and their teachers begins today.
The Bench-Inquirer in Education Serial Reading Program (SRP) is now on its seventh story.
As in the past years, Bench is donating Inquirer copies to the students of 41 teachers in 27 partner schools so the teachers may teach, and their students may better appreciate, the story.
“Letters from Crispin,” this year’s series, is written by Palanca award-winning writer Cyan Abad-Jugo, who has also authored two previous stories, “Yaya Maya and the White King” and “Earth Healers.”
The illustrations are by young artist Daniela B. Go, a senior visual communications student at the University of the Philippines.
