4月23日世界閱讀日，可譽的孩子們在老師帶領下，走進啟德體育園主場館，參與由教育局舉辦的「2026香港全民閱讀活動周——閱讀無界限分享會暨中小學聯校共讀半小時」。現場逾百間中小學及特殊學校、逾千名師生，聯同線上超過三萬名師生同步參與，成功刷新「最大規模的多模態閱讀課」健力士世界紀錄！
活動內容豐富——教育局局長蔡若蓮博士以視像推介《就是走路》一書，寄語學生「每一次閱讀都是一場心靈探險，每一本書都會帶我們看到不同世界」；副局長施俊輝博士親臨致辭；歌手許廷鏗結合自身演藝經歷，與同學探討體育運動的價值。閱讀課以「體育力量」為主題，運用《書伴遨遊》系列多模態資源，結合文本、圖像、影音及肢體表演，讓孩子體驗閱讀的無限可能。課堂結束後，全場師生一同朗讀「閱讀宣言」並靜心共讀半小時。
回到校園，「悦讀千里號」閱讀獎勵計劃同樣見證孩子的成長。這項由教育局課程發展處舉辦的計劃，透過獎勵機制鼓勵學生廣泛閱讀不同類型的文本與閱讀材料。令人欣喜的是，可譽孩子榮獲「閱讀船長」的榮譽稱號——這份肯定，是他們願意再翻開下一本書的最佳動力。
可譽送給孩子的禮物，從來不限於課堂。我們想種下的，是一輩子對文字的親近、對知識的渴求。願每一個小主人，都能在書海中淘到專屬自己的寶藏，讓終生學習，從「悦讀」開始。
On World Book Day, April 23, our Ho Yu students, accompanied by their teachers, stepped into the main stadium of Kai Tak Sports Park to join the “2026 National Reading Week – – Reading Without Boundaries Sharing Session and Joint School Half‑Hour Reading”, organised by the Education Bureau. With over 100 primary and secondary schools plus special schools on site, more than a thousand students and teachers, alongside over 30,000 participants online, we successfully set a new Guinness World Record for the “largest multimodal reading lesson”!
The event was packed with inspiration: Dr. Choi Yuk‑lin, Secretary for Education, recommended the book Just Walk via video, encouraging students that “every reading is a journey of the mind, and every book opens a different world.” Dr. Sze Chun‑fai, Under Secretary for Education, gave an on‑site address, and singer Alfred Hui shared his performing arts experience to explore the value of sports. The reading lesson centred on the theme “Power of Sports”, using multimodal resources from the Book Companion series – combining texts, images, audio‑visuals and body performances – to show our children the boundless possibilities of reading. After the lesson, all participants recited the “Reading Pledge” and enjoyed a quiet half‑hour of shared reading.
Back on campus, the “Joyful Reading Voyage” Reading Incentive Scheme continues to witness our students’ growth. Organised by the Curriculum Development Institute of the Education Bureau, this scheme encourages students to explore a wide range of texts and reading materials through a reward system. We are thrilled that some Ho Yu students have earned the honorary title of “Reading Captain” – this recognition is the best motivation for them to turn the next page with eagerness.
At Ho Yu, what we give our children is never limited to the classroom. We want to plant in them a lifelong love for words and a thirst for knowledge. May every young learner discover their own treasure in the vast sea of books, and may lifelong learning begin with the joy of reading.
