Young Canada Reads at Fredericton High School
Here at Margin Notes, we love the opportunity to celebrate students as reading ambassadors, so we were very excited to hear that four Fredericton High School students are participating in the local youth version of CBC’s Canada Reads. Each reader has chosen a Canadian novel to champion:
Sarah Kelly – Everything Beautiful is Not Ruined by Danielle Younge-Ullman
Juliette Tristant-Akret – All the Things We Leave Behind by Riel Nason
Patricia Forestell – Saint and Misfits by S.K. Ali
Jake Dow- Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese
You can hear them talk about their books on CBC’s Information Morning this week and you can show your support by voting for them on the CBC Facebook page until Friday. Their book pitches will be aired on the Daily Roar video announcements at FHS this week as well.
These four students are doing an outstanding job representing FHS and youth in general as articulate and insightful readers. We are very appreciative that CBC Fredericton has created a forum for teens to engage in authentic reading talk and we look forward to seeing how this programme grows!
