OvidiuRO Association announces the partnership with the National Library of Romania to promote reading among children. The event was marked on the occasion of the International Children’s Book Day at the Alexandru and Aristia Aman County Library Craiova, Dolj County.
The National Library of Romania joins the OvidiuRO Association’s initiative to encourage reading in kindergarten and in the family, through the national program Read me 100 stories!, developed in partnership with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture, but also through the activities organized by the institution dedicated to children and teachers.
The partnership begins on International Children’s Book Day, celebrated around the world on April 2. The OvidiuRO team and the general director of the National Library, Prof. Dr. Adrian Cioroianu, have celebrated this day in Dolj County, through a series of activities dedicated to reading with the children in several pre-schools from rural areas. Furthermore, we had a series of activities on the importance of early education with the directors of the educational units in the county, together with the local partners, the Dolj County School Inspectorate.
The program Read me 100 stories! aims to stimulate reading among children, both in kindergartens and at home in their individual families. Children will have the opportunity to participate in reading workshops and to develop their attention, vocabulary, imagination, and especially motivation for learning. Thus, the program directly contributes to the development of literacy and reading habits that catalyzes the learning process and functional literacy, especially for children from disadvantaged and culturally isolated families.
