Passing on the Joy of Reading: Practical Workshop for Future Reading Sponsors

How does a reading hour become a lively literary experience? The practical workshop at the Aschaffenburg District Office imparts creative ideas and practical methods for designing reading hours with elementary school children. Participants will receive impulses on how to convey stories confidently, variably, and with linguistic attention.

Reading Aloud as a Key to Promoting Reading

The focus is on promoting reading among elementary school children. Through various exercises, reading and literature educator Sandra Kolle demonstrates how to prepare, design, and enhance reading situations with appropriate conversation prompts. The workshop combines literature educational expertise with concrete experiences from practice.

Creative Methods for the Reading Hour

A good reading hour thrives on voice, rhythm, atmosphere, and the appropriate selection of stories. The practical workshop invites participants to become active and explore different approaches to reading aloud. This creates a safe framework for everyone who wants to impart joy in books to children and strengthen their reading skills.

Book Exhibition for the Target Group

The event will be accompanied by a small book exhibition featuring suitable titles for working with elementary school children. The selection offers suggestions for future reading hours and showcases how diverse picture books, children's literature, and narrative formats can be used in reading promotion.

Kickoff for Basic Training in Reading Sponsorships

The workshop serves as the kickoff for basic training in reading sponsorships, which will continue in early November 2026. The project of the Aschaffenburg district supports volunteers in regularly reading to children and opening up a personal connection to stories and books. Since 2008, the Office for Civic Engagement has coordinated the reading sponsorships in the district.

Conclusion: Shaping Education with Stories

The workshop combines literary quality, practical exercises, and social engagement. Anyone wishing to open new avenues to the world for children with language, voice, and stories will find valuable guidance for starting a reading sponsorship. Participation is free of charge; registration is required by October 14, 2026.
