The 11-year-old reader has already finished a total of 853 books. This is the highest record among city schools, according to the official website of the capital city administration.
Shapira Sarsembekovna, the Head of the school library, says Altinay reads fiction and educational works fluently in Kazakh, Russian, and English. In addition, she regularly reads books in French. Overall, the young reader is capable of reading in four languages: Kazakh, Russian, English and French.
Altinay has read every single book in her school library. Furthermore, she has an extensive personal library at home. With her parents' support, she orders books from England, which has significantly broadened her horizons and contributed to the development of her language skills.
According to experts, such a high indicator not only enriches the student's vocabulary but also has a positive impact on cognitive abilities and academic achievement. Altinay Oteubaeva's success serves as an example for all young readers, reported by oz.inform.kz.
