Deanne Fraser and her three daughters did the High Performance Learning English Language and Learning Skills Program a few years ago. Deanne’s daughters are now avid readers and excel at school as a result.
Deanne joined the High Performance Learning Literature Club to develop her reading and writing skills. She has since embarked on writing a children’s book. Here is a poem she wrote at a Literature Club meeting which captures her changed perception of reading.
The Book
by By Deanne Fraser
Today I found some treasure
in a dark forgotten place
within my reach, but out of
in an old and tired case.
Today I found some treasure
it was hidden from my sight
I could only see its value
when I held it to the light.
Today I found some treasure
and it’s changed my point of view
before, a crazed consumer
always wanting something new.
Today I found some treasure
such a rare and priceless find
that the contents of this treasure
are now stored within my mind.
