April 2024 Books Recommendations

Literacy Year: April  2024 Books Recommendations

This year, we are celebrating literacy in our school and we look forward to sharing a variety of texts available in our school library that we use in our classrooms and that are highly recommended by our late Director of Religious Affairs, Marhum Syed Asad Jafri. 

Please recite a surah fateha for Marhum Syed Asad Jafri who thrived on learning and imparting knowledge to all ages.

Our students read and reflect upon a rich variety of text, which helps in building proficiency in the understanding of the language and translates into strong verbal and written communication skills.

We are pleased to share our book recommendations for April 2024.
