Project Report | May 31, 2017
I like reading | Me gusta leer :)

Hello! We want to tell you that, thanks to your valuable support, we were able to successfully develop and complete a reading project for our children. Angie, a student of Educational Psychology at the San Buenaventura University in Bogotá, was the person in charge of leading the project.

Several reading and storymaking workshops were designed, and were accompanied by other fun activities such as painting, tangram and clay.

With the proposal, we managed to link to the project not only the children of CRAN, but also the caregivers and the collaborators to promote the habit of reading. "Reading requires active participation and a dynamic attitude and, therefore, is the best way to learn to express our ideas, thoughts and arguments," Angie explains.

The main results we obtained were:

  • Concentration and attention
  • Teamwork
  • Communicative and narrative skills
  • Inventive and imagination
  • Creativity

In the end, the children expressed their opinion about the workshops:

"The workshops served me because before I did not like to read, but now I like it a lot."

"I like to read, at school, I go to the library and read a story, I did not do it before".

"It was very beautiful what I lived with my friends."

"The workshops were fun."

"I learned that one has to appreciate others."

"We were able to work in groups, be calm and share."

"We like to hear the stories that the caregivers read to us."

Thank you very much for building with your contributions nutritious environments where our children can learn, dream and imagine, until they regain their right to have a family that loves them and cares for life!

¡Hola! Queremos contarte que, gracias a tu valioso apoyo, pudimos desarrollar y concluir con éxito un proyecto de lectura para nuestros niños. Angie, estudiante de Psicología Educativa de la Universidad de San Buenaventura en Bogotá, fue la persona encargada de liderarlo.  

Se diseñaron varios talleres de lectura y creación de historias, que fueron acompañados de otras actividades divertidas, como pintura, tangram y plastilina. 

Con la propuesta, logramos abrir las puertas para que no solo los niños de CRAN se vincularan al proyecto, sino también para que las cuidadoras y los colaboradores promuevan el hábito de la lectura. "La lectura exige una participación activa y una actitud dinámica y, por eso, es la mejor manera de aprender a expresar nuestras ideas, pensamientos y argumentos", no explica Angie.

Los principales resultados que obtuvimos fueron:

  • Concentración y atención
  • Trabajo en equipo
  • Habilidades comunicativas y narrativas 
  • Inventiva e imaginación
  • Creatividad

Al final, los niños opinaron sobre los talleres lo siguiente:

"Los talleres me sirvieron porque antes no me gustaba casi leer, pero ahora me gusta mucho".

"Me gusta leer, en el descanso en el colegio, voy a la biblioteca y leo un cuento, antes no lo hacía”.

"Fue muy hermoso lo que viví con mis amigas".

“Fueron muy divertidos los talleres”.

“Aprendí que uno tiene que apreciar los demás”.

“Pudimos trabajar en grupo, estar tranquilos y compartir”.

“Nos gusta escuchar los cuentos que nos leen las cuidadoras”.

¡Muchas gracias por construir con tus aportes entornos nutritivos donde nuestros niños pueden aprender, soñar e imaginar, hasta que recuperen su derecho a tener una familia que los ame y los cuide para toda la vida!
