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 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:

'''If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.'''<br>

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.

The significance to Sugar is that we are a bit thin on constructionist literacy activities.... this has the potential to open up an entire arena where kids can construct within the context of acquiring reading and language skills. plus it will be fun!!
