“Reading Aloud Creates the Future”
November 15, 2024
Bonn – Today, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) announced the launch of the “Reading Aloud Creates the Future” initiative. The initiative aims to promote reading aloud to children and young people, and to create a reading-friendly environment for all.
“Reading aloud is an essential skill for children and young people,” said Federal Minister of Education and Research Bettina Stark-Watzinger. “It stimulates their imagination, develops their vocabulary, and helps them to understand the world around them.”
Goals of the initiative
The “Reading Aloud Creates the Future” initiative has three main goals:
- To promote reading aloud to children and young people from all backgrounds. The initiative will provide funding for programs that make reading aloud accessible to all, regardless of their socioeconomic status or cultural background.
- To create a reading-friendly environment for all. The initiative will support efforts to create reading-friendly spaces in homes, schools, libraries, and community centers.
- To train more people to read aloud. The initiative will provide training for teachers, librarians, and other adults who work with children and young people.
Benefits of reading aloud
The benefits of reading aloud to children and young people are well-documented. Studies have shown that reading aloud can improve academic achievement, develop social and emotional skills, and promote mental health.
How you can get involved
There are many ways to get involved in the “Reading Aloud Creates the Future” initiative, including:
- Volunteering to read aloud to children and young people. You can volunteer to read aloud at your local library, school, or community center.
- Donating books to programs that promote reading aloud. You can donate books to your local library or to organizations that provide books to children and young people in need.
