This is about a project on reading, but not as a skill, or a subject matter. It means Reading for pleasure. The writer reminds about having been read some books by her mother, and realized that most children don't visit bookshops to "choose the book to read at bed". That's why she thought to implement this project at her school, "Books on Wheels club". The fist aim is that children get in contact with books. So, she stated a day for reading, chose a quiet place at school and brought pillows for them to sit on. Children listen attentively and then they work with it.They make a book trolley, decide the difficulty of the book ,through using traffic light system, they write their impression of that reading,etc. After the class each pupil can take one book for reading at home. Through these experiences students develop their creativity, their imagination, self-confidence, accuracy, fluency and at the same time they discover a fascinating worl of magic. It seems an interesting project. It might be a nice experience. Good Luck!

Hi Kerlo…this is a very nice idea!!! But, if we consider our working conditions as teachers here in argentina, it would be a bit difficult to provide the students with al that is proposed in the article. Maybe we could make some changes to this wonderful idea thinking about our possibilities at school. We know that there won’t be quiet places to bring pillows at most of public schools, but this shared reading could be part of a bigger work from the students. For example, keeping their own classrooms in good conditions, so when the moment comes of reading “for pleasure”, they feel excited about it, would be a good way of making them fell protagonist of their own learning process. What do you think?

I agree with your comment about time for reading at school.It is really useful for students,who need to improve not only language,but also their mind!
