All levels Practice and Strategies Presentation

Cancelled Narayanapur village reading program

Wed, Aug 9, 10:45-11:20 Asia/Tokyo

Location: Silang Jana 1

This practical presentation mainly determines the impact of the village reading program at Narayanapur village from Telangana, India. The "Village Reading Program" is aimed to train 100 students selected from our village for 10 days by conducting a pretest in order to support 100 struggling readers also selected from same village. These trained students visit 797 homes in our village to motivate them to start and create a reading culture among the villagers. We distribute a free book to start a family library because people are not aware of reading. Even though we have a small library in our village, people are not going to visit it so the free book distribution helps them to start reading at home.These hundred students each visit around 8 families to distribute books and to assess their reading. The presenter believes these activities help our villagers and students to inculcate the habit of reading. As the saying goes, "It takes a village to raise a child." This program addresses the need of reading among the students and adults of our village and helps students attain grade level proficiency.
