<br>Nowadays majority of the softwares that we are using are open source eg- Linux kernel, Mozilla Firefox, etc. I had known about GSOC via my college. I think contributing to open source is very good opportunity for a person as he get to understand how things work, Now, that I am more involved in software development and practices, I thought of giving it my level best to contribute towards FOSS and get involved in it through SugarLabs. This is my first time contribution towards Open Source Development.

Programming to read is an activity that will enable people to enhance their language skills and at the same time will motivate them to look at language not just as a means of communication but will allow them to understand what simple sentences can do when it comes to programming, in a very interactive manner like the current turtle block activity.Flashcards for various subjects, verbs, nouns, pronouns, prepositions will be given to the user. Flashcard vocabulary will be extensible and there will be a plug-in for handling major languages. Following figure will perhaps elaborate the purpose more:

The activity will attract people of all age and most importantly children as they will see how their simple sentences are forming shapes or what they have been imagining in their mind as a consequence of the sentence will become live on their screens.

'''Why do they need it:'''<br>

Since activity will focus on doing programming via forming simple sentences I think it will open a new dimension for learning how to write and speak sentences, for children it will be an introduction of what computers can do and will motivate them to move further in the field.

As of now we have many activities in Sugar that focus on enhancing education of children in many ways, for eg take turtle blocks, but as of now we need an environment that can teach Grammar, Vocabulary, Programming, pronunciation and can let children acquire reading and language skills. Programming to read activity will do that in a very interactive manner.
