Caring for TEXT BOOKS
A book as we’ve been told is like a friend. This means the utmost respect should be extended when handling them, even if it’s an old one, to always have it in perfect shape and a non damaged one. A book is not a toy and should be properly cared for. All students ranging from infants to university students should be taught how to care for texts books. Encourage your child to do the following care tips:
– Wrap books to safeguard and preserve them
– Keep pens, markers covered and keep paint away from uniforms.
– Take special care where and how books, bags are used
– When it rains, wrap books in plastic bags before placing them in the school bag
– Find a safe place during play to secure bags to prevent possible theft
– Make book markers and use them instead of bending the pages of books
– Avoid defacing the pages of textbooks so that they may be resold or traded.
