Two weeks before the end of Iranian Year of 1394, RWM<\/strong> experts traveled to South\u00a0Khorasan to run the second series of Read\u00a0with\u00a0Me<\/strong> workshops for teachers and tutors and to visit the project\u2019s implementation process in this region. This year is the second year that Read\u00a0with\u00a0Me<\/strong> is implemented in Birjand, Darmian and Khusf and teachers and tutors who have recently joined the project, beside more\u00a0experienced teachers, cooperate well to implement\u00a0the project and convey their experiences. Creative and experienced teachers in South\u00a0Khoraasn have got further than RWM<\/strong> workshops and they, themselves design and perform interesting activities for children.<\/p>\n

RWM<\/strong> experts report that in most schools, RWM<\/strong> has changed the appearance of classrooms. In most of these classrooms, RWM<\/strong> books are hung on the walls or exhibited in small libraries. Activities related to Reading\u00a0Aloud are seen on the walls or showed in a corner of the classrooms.<\/p>\n

Teachers and tutors also report the positive effects of project\u2019s implementation on children. Children, who were\u00a0covered by RWM\u00a0<\/strong>project during the previous year, are used to reading and they wait for Reading\u00a0aloud sessions and doing follow-up activities. Their skills in fluent reading, writing and social behaviors have been improved, they have more concentration and imagination and it is visible in their speaking and drawings.<\/p>\n

Teachers and tutors mention cases of complete or relative cure of stuttering or other speech disorders after working with \u201cLearning\u00a0Sounds\u201d book. In some classes children with speech disorders participate in dramatic activities with high self-confidence and other children accompany them by acceptance and respect.<\/p>\n

In some schools, teachers have conflated concepts of science and math with book related activities and it has made the learning more interesting for children.<\/p>\n

\"Children<\/a> \"Plants<\/a><\/p>\n

Using recycled\u00a0stuff, reusing waste\u00a0material, growing plants in pots and school\u00a0garden in relation with books with environmental\u00a0theme are some of children\u2019s favorite activities.<\/p>\n

\"Library<\/a>\u00a0\"Activities<\/a><\/p>\n

Most of children like to take books home with them. In some schools, teachers have made library\u00a0cards\u00a0so children can borrow books and\u00a0practically learn the library system.<\/p>\n

During these visits, Read\u00a0with\u00a0Me<\/strong> cloth\u00a0pocket libraries were given to schools who didn\u2019t have proper facilities for class libraries and they were installed on walls by children\u2019s cooperation. Children put their books in these libraries by enthusiasm. So now on, books are visible and available to children in classrooms.<\/p>\n
