'Gift Book Pilot Scheme (2020)' and Free Use of 'eRead Scheme'

Today a reader. Tomorrow a leader.

The Education Bureau (EDB) has been promoting “Reading to Learn” through various measures to support schools’ implementation of diversified reading activities to complement the curriculum, thereby developing students’ reading interest and habits from a young age to enhance their reading skills and learning capabilities.

Our school has also joined “eRead Scheme” organized by Hong Kong Education City.  The scheme provides a wide range of quality Chinese and English e-books in various categories and levels.  In addition to the school subscription of 150 ebooks, HKEdcity provides our students with an extra collection of 100 free ebooks from 16 July to 31 December 2020 with unlimited access.   The reading platform records reading data of each student for teachers to better understand students’ reading habits.  We will devise appropriate strategies for promoting reading in the coming term.
