Read Me 100 Stories!
A national program to encourage reading in kindergarten and in the family.
Together with the local communities, we transform public kindergartens in Romania into islands of reading and nature, where children and adults decipher together the secrets of books and the universe and take care of the plants and animals around them.
An initiative of the Asociatia OvidiuRO in partnership with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture, under the auspices of the “Educated Romania” project.
About The Program
“Read me 100 stories!” stimulates reading in kindergartens and in the family. We offer the following quality resources, related to the national curriculum:
- carefully selected books for preschoolers and their educators;
- literacy-focused training sessions for children’s educators;
- educational resources to organise the activity, according to the reading plan prepared at kindergarten level;
- reading workshops for children, so that preschoolers can develop their vocabulary and love for reading;
The selected and offered books are valuable from a literary point of view and suitable for the preschool age.
In the first five years of life, the child’s brain develops 95%. That is why it is important for every child to have access to quality early education and to be exposed to a variety of learning experiences that form the basis of their intellectual development as an adult.

The program was launched in 2021 and has garnered special interest among directors and teachers. The map shows all kindergartens with reading ilands (in blue).
What is a reading plan?
A reading plan is put together by the principal and teachers and represents a set of reading activities that will be implemented within the kindergarden. The plan contains a minimum set of mandatory activities, that require a photo to be uploaded after the activity has taken place. The plan also contains several suggestions for optional activities.

How do I register?
In the fifth series of enrollments (start: January 2023), the program is dedicated to 1.271 public educational units in rural areas with a medium and high risk of early school leaving, which have kindergarten structures and have not already been certified as a kinder-library (green spaces on the map).
The registration of the educational unit can be done EXCLUSIVELY by its director, for all structures with groups of preschoolers. Teachers can ONLY create a personal account. If you are the director, we invite you to sign up.
