Video: Nancy Faeser Calls for Nationwide Reading Day
November 11, 2024
In a video message, Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser has called on all citizens to participate in the “Vorlesetag” (Reading Day) on November 18th, 2024.
“Reading is the key to education, participation, and social cohesion,” said Faeser. “On the occasion of ‘Vorlesetag’, we want to send a signal for reading and language promotion. Reading aloud not only sparks joy but also strengthens language skills and awakens young people’s curiosity.”
Faeser emphasized the importance of early and regular reading promotion. Reading aloud to children from a young age can help them develop their vocabulary, imagination, and understanding of the world.
The “Vorlesetag” is an annual initiative of the “Stiftung Lesen” (Reading Foundation) and has been held since 2004. Every year, on the third Friday in November, people of all ages are encouraged to read aloud to children and young people.
This year’s motto is “Gemeinsam lesen. Miteinander aufwachsen” (Reading together. Growing up together). By reading aloud together, families, schools, and communities can come together and promote a sense of unity and inclusion.
Faeser encouraged everyone to participate in the “Vorlesetag.” “Read aloud to your children, grandchildren, students, or in retirement homes,” she said. “Let’s make ‘Vorlesetag’ a nationwide celebration of reading and language.”
