Reading and bringing language enjoyment to a family with children (2-8 years) in a poor language environment.
The VoorleesExpress is a project where children are read to at home by volunteers every week. Do you have an affinity with children and are you enthusiastic about language and (reading)? Are you interested in people with a different background and do you speak fluent Dutch? Then sign up!
This can be done via this vacancy or directly via this link: https://portal.voorleesexpress.nl/aanmelden/wageningen/vrijwilliger
What does a reader do?
As a reader, you read to children who grow up in a language-poor home environment every week. You visit the family at home twenty times, on a fixed afternoon at the same time. As a reader, you slowly get parents and children used to interactive reading and show them how much fun (reading) is. In addition, you can bring language fun to the family in various ways, for example by singing songs, playing games or doing crafts together. With the family, you look at how dealing with language best fits in their home situation and you give the parent(s) tools to take over themselves after 20 weeks. The VoorleesExpress is a special and educational experience for both families and readers!
Objectives
The VoorleesExpress has several goals. We want to stimulate children's language development and reading pleasure. We introduce the reading ritual to families and give parents the tools to enrich the language environment at home. In addition, we want to bring people with different socio-cultural backgrounds into contact with each other locally. But participating in the VoorleesExpress is above all a lot of fun!
Good to know:
- The project starts four times a year: in February, May, September and November
- We will request a VOG for you free of charge
- You can count on guidance during the project
- You will also participate in the introductory course, interactive reading training, optional reader meetings and theme meetings.
- Reading aloud, including library visit and evaluation, takes an average of 2 hours per week
