Big Brother Mouse

14 May, 2015, Hatsaikham Village, Attapeu Province, Laos

Launching a Reading Program: For our reading program, we give enough books to each classroom in the school so that children can read every day. Often called "Sustained Silent Reading", this approach develops reading skills, a love of reading, and a habit of reading. We launch the program with a book party, show here. For one full morning or afternoon, our team reads aloud, talks about books, leads outdoor games, and teaches songs about books and reading. At the end, every child gets to choose a book of their own, in addition to the books we leave in the classrooms.

This event was sponsored by Denis & Helen Weily (Australia). Thank you!

Children in the last two pictures enjoy the 8-page book Tiger by Beth Gilfillan, who was doing literacy work in East Timor when she attended a seminar that Big Brother Mouse held for similar organizations in Southeast Asia.
