The library in this center which covers different age-groups in preschool, elementary\u00a0school, mid-school and high\u00a0school, is not just an ordinary library. It is a library of quality\u00a0books which has expanded its activities since last summer by the cooperation of Read\u00a0with\u00a0Me<\/strong> project and holds Book\u00a0Reading sessions more regularly.<\/p>\n

In these Book\u00a0Reading Sessions, tutors who have previously been trained in RWM<\/strong> workshops on Reading\u00a0Aloud Techniques, read aloud quality\u00a0books with children. After reading the books, activities related to them are done by children. The tutors think of different activities to develop and extend the content of the book so that the children are more involved with books.<\/p>\n

In this year, in Supportive Education Center of Mahmood\u00a0Abad series of \u201cReading with Babies and Toddlers workshops\u201d were held for another group of young mothers. In these workshops in Mahmood\u00a0Abad Cultural\u00a0Center mothers learned Reading\u00a0Aloud basics and received \u201cReading with Babies and Toddlers\u201d Book\u00a0Bags to read aloud with their babies. So during the workshops mothers were guided toward the correct path of reading with their babies to let their children benefit quality\u00a0books from first years of their lives under the supervision of the institute\u2019s experts. In these sessions practical and theoretical education related to books are given to mothers. In addition of Book\u00a0Reading they learn the right way of singing lullabies and songs and telling stories with dolls and they also learn to make books for their babies by themselves. After running this workshops for two groups of mothers, now the teachers and mothers are surprised of its amazing impacts on children and they report the effects of reading on mental and social growth of babies. Sympathetic mothers of Mahmood\u00a0Abad who are now empowered, follow these workshops enthusiastically. In a part of the exhibition in February, handmade crafts made by mothers for their children were also presented.<\/p>\n
