Downloaded from hlayiso.com SECTION A: READING AND VIEWING Read the article below and then answer questions 1 to 10. KIDDIES WEEKLY 06 September 2014 Headline Harold Khoza, a ten year old who lives in Cape Town, has set a new record in his grade for having read the most English books in a year. This amazing boy was encouraged to read from an early age (5) when his mother, Jabu Khoza, used to read stories to him at bedtime. At the end of the school year, his teacher asked the whole class how many books they had read throughout the year. Harold had read the highest number, 50. He received a trophy and a voucher from a book store. “| believe that children need to learn from positive role models. Not everybody is lucky enough to have family support,” said Harold. What makes his success even more outstanding is that he only has four years of formal education in English. His mother tongue is isiZulu. His mother is very proud of him. “He is my pride and my joy. His favourite place is the library. He spends most afternoons and many Saturdays there. One day, we are going to have our own library,” she said. She looks sadly at the one bedroom home that she and Harold share. Reading has made Harold a clever learner. He is able to do research projects without much help from the teacher and is always offering help to his pals.
