The city library not only offers the new reader bags.

These boxes can be requested for groups and educational institutions. In addition, the child-friendly BEE-bot robot is available, which promotes logical thinking and the problem-solving skills of the children through programmable tasks.

reading promotion as a key competence

The importance of reading promotion, especially in early childhood, is supported by numerous initiatives and projects. According to the BMBF , good reading skills are decisive for the educational path and the social participation of children. Since every child comes to school with different linguistic skills, it is all the more important to create access to books and the world of reading early.

The “Reading Start 1-2-3” project is an example of successful promotion. Such programs are part of a greater responsibility that have community and various institutions to improve reading skills in children and to convey the ability to actively and design their environment.
