Explanation
Mutolaa means reading a book carefully. In many families reading is a favourite pastime. Everyone reads the book, magazine or newspaper they like. Choose books with an adult’s advice and tell your family what you read.
Worked examples
“Book evening”. Every Friday evening our family reads. Dad takes a newspaper and Mum takes a book of poems. I read a fairy tale to my little brother. Grandma listens to us with a smile. Then everyone tells what they read.
Rule: read a book every day, even just a little.
