Acknowledgement
Share-A-Book is one of the advocacies of our Reading Program with a
Theme: IQRA Para Sa Batang Marawi that aims to provide precious
knowledge to every Bangsamoro Marawi learners and increase literacy
through continuous learning.
Share-A-Book seeks to promote a nonintrusive method to introduce a
variety of print materials into the child’s world.
Challenge
Due to this pandemic, most of our learners are functionally illiterate
(they cannot read with comprehension) while some have no basic
literacy skills. And while most children do enroll in Grade 1, an
estimated 55% of them will drop out without finishing high school.
Increased access to, and encouraging a love for books in public
schools is needed to promote functional literacy, creative thinking, and
independent reading skills that are needed for future success.
Solution
By donating books for children to other public schools in our division,
we will promote independent reading and creative thinking in our
children while also exposing them to the best of our contemporary art
and literature.
Impact
The project will help empower children to think creatively, learn on
their own, and strengthen their love for books. These are skills that will
stay and help all-even those who drop out of school-to achieve
success all through their lives.
Let us share books and learning materials with children who need
them the most through Share-A-Book Program. Each book brings
something new and better to a human being because according to
science, reading can make people more emphatic. And, this world
certainly needs more empathy.
