Abstract
Reading Express; service for newcomers and refugees
Due to the fact that the Netherlands is a multicultural country (as many around the world) we are facing the fact that reading aloud to young children is not very common in families with an oral background or poor reading skills or even illiterate. The Reading Express is an approach which is developed on a national level and executed on city and village level. The concept on its own is simple but effective. Volunteers get a training on reading aloud and are connected to a family where they will read stories to the child or children for 20 weeks in their own home. Parents need to be present and are trained on the job as well. Halfway the program the family, parents and children, visit the public library to get acquainted and feel relaxed. At the end of the 20 weeks parents promise to continue the reading aloud sessions.Reading Express : service pour nouveaux arrivants et refugiés
Les Pays-Bas étant un pays multiculturel (comme de nombreux pays à travers le monde) nous nous confrontons au fait que lire aux enfants n’est pas une habitude dans les familles issues de cultures orales, ayant des difficultés à lire ou étant illettrées. Reading Express est une approche qui a été développée à échelle nationale et mise en place dans plusieurs villes et villages. Le concept en lui-même est simple mais efficace. Des volontaires sont formés à la lecture à voix haute puis mis en relation avec des familles, pendant 20 semaines ils iront lire des histoires aux enfants, chez eux. Les parents doivent être présents afin d’être formés eux aussi à cette pratique. A la moitié du programme, les familles visitent la bibliothèque publique pour prendre leurs marques et s’y sentir à l’aise. Au bout de 20 semaines, les parents promettent de continuer les moments de lectures à voix haute.Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Item (Paper) | |||||||||
