I’ve always been vocal about my love for reading and the fact that I’ve been trying to pass on this passion of mine to my kids. So far, I think I’m already quite successful judging by the number of books already piling up on my kids’ bookshelves. It’s also such a thrill to see them get so excited whenever I announce that we are going to the bookstore to buy new books.
My goal now though, is to sustain that passion for reading and learning. So I’m always on the look out for things that will help me do just that. Luckily, I was invited to attend the upcoming seminar-workshop for both teachers and parents that aims to revisit the value of books, to reignite the love for reading, and to teach them how to do these both at home and in school.
The event is called READING REVOLUTION: Hacking Restless Readers in Today’s World by Cokid.org. It will be held on May 17, 2014 at 9:00am to 5:00pm at Alphaland, Makati. Participants can expect to find illustrated talks about reading & storytelling by amazing speakers! Plus, fun workshops sharing effective tools & tricks that can easily be recreated!
What is CoKid?
CoKid is an organization with a unique editorial focus on innovation in progressive education and child development. Written for, by, and about teachers, Cokid.org aims to inspire readers and users to think beyond traditional boundaries, lead conversations, and create the future of child development.
Cokid.org is also a partner of Kinder Project, an initiative that aims to provide teaching materials and teacher training to 200 public school classrooms in Payatas, Quezon City. By taking part in this event, you will not only be provided with the tools to become a more effective teacher and parent, but you are also taking part in a movement that aids our country’s public schools and teachers in need of training and tools.
I’m so excited about this event already. I hope to see you guys there!
