At British Ulaanbaatar School, we are delighted to provide our students with a diverse range of reading opportunities across three main areas: guided reading, leisure reading, and academic reading. In collaboration with the prestigious 100-year-old English publishing company Scholastic, BSU families have the opportunity to order the latest books for children directly from the UK, with the delivery arriving in Ulaanbaatar approximately two weeks after the close of the order. It was wonderful to see so many families utilising this initiative recently, with numerous copies of "DogMan," "Dork Diaries" and "Tom Gates" making their way to BSU students' homes. Every book that is purchased by BSU families results in credit that the school can use to add books to our own library.
The relationship between BSU and Scholastic allows students to access a wider range of books both at home and in school, and hopefully encourages students to read more and more ! Reading daily can be extremely effective in the long term and can help children learn about the world, develop imagination, become more empathetic, and enrich their vocabulary.
