Big Brother Mouse

8 January, 2010, Huaiman Village, Luang Prabang Province, Laos

Book party: At book parties we read from books, play games, and sing songs. At the end of each book party, every student gets to choose a book, usually the first book they've ever owned. Then we give more to the school. Our book parties have two goals. First, we get children excited about books. (Previously, most of them had seen textbooks, but never a book they were eager to read.) Second, we observe closely, to see what books are most avidly read, what's needed, and what techniques help spread a love of reading.

This event was sponsored by Robert Moyer, Cathy Lee, and Jason Moyer-Lee (United States). Thank you!

The Big Brother Mouse book party is the high point of the school year for many children. Reading is an important part of each event. So are the outdoor games.

Games allow kids to burn off some energy. They also help with another goal: When children think of books, they remember their favorite day.
