The Read with Me House and the Mafi Family\u2019s Creative Education Center was established and allocated to the Institute for Research on the History of Children\u2019s Literature<\/em> by Sogand and Sogol Mafi in memory of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mafi (founders of Mehran School and Children\u2019s Book Council) in order to realize their parents\u2019 dreams and goals including cultural growth in the children of their country.<\/p>\n

Read with Me<\/strong>, a program which promotes book reading among children in the deprived areas of Iran, has not only won the most prestigious reading promotion award, IBBY-Asahi, during the six years of its activity, but by the supports of different institutes, it has also been able to set new standards in Iran regarding the methods of book reading promotion. These methods are mixtures of teaching basic literacy using children\u2019s literature, Reading Aloud, dramatic arts and establishing child-centered libraries.<\/p>\n

By spreading this program to the most remote areas of Iran, Read with Me <\/strong>needed a space for devising precise schedules, training tutors and preparing book packages. The Read with Me <\/strong>House and The Mafi Family\u2019s Creative Education Center were therefore established on 25 August 2017 to reach for the goals that had been set by Masoume (Farangis) Sohrab and Yahya Mafi in the past decades.<\/p>\n
