Rotary Club Worms supports children's enthusiasm for reading with 1,000 euros!

A heartfelt encouragement for children's love of reading in Worms: The Rotary Club Worms-Nibelungen (RCWN) today presented a generous donation of 1,000 euros to the children's and youth library. This support aims to promote reading and get young people excited about the world of books, as Worms.de reports. During the Rhineland-Palatinate reading and reading summer, which is aimed at children and young people aged 6 to 16, the aim is to further strengthen interest in reading.

Wenke Zeibe, the head of the children's and youth library, was pleased with the support and praised the Rotary Club's commitment. Christian Kazempour, former president of the RCWN, emphasized the great importance of promoting reading. The current president, Christian Haslinger, also emphasized how important reading is for the development of knowledge, empathy and critical thinking.

Activities as part of the reading summer

As part of the reading summer, libraries encourage children and young people to read at least three books. Participants who achieve this goal can not only look forward to a certificate, but also hope for a possible positive note in their certificate. They also have the opportunity to take part in a nationwide raffle, which creates additional incentives to engage more intensively with books.

However, the reading summer is not just limited to older children; The very little ones are also brought on board as part of a reading summer for daycare centers. Family members read to the children while they draw pictures to accompany the stories they read. The kindergarten children also receive a certificate after they have had at least three books read to them and created corresponding pictures.

A concept with role models

But Worms is not alone in its efforts to promote reading. There are numerous activities nationwide that are also dedicated to this valuable topic. Programs such as “Reading Start 1-2-3” support early reading promotion in small children. The Reading Foundation offers various initiatives, including reading nights and reading festivals, that address and involve families together, reports Bildungsserver.de.

It is gratifying to see how organizations like the Rotary Club mobilize their forces to open up a wonderful world of knowledge and imagination to children through reading support. Through such commitments, the reading culture in Worms is not only maintained, but actively developed.
