The aim of these short videos is to provide parents with support at home. There are videos for words and phrases that should be used to consolidate rather than initial teaching. The aim of the videos is to promote the fast automatic reading of the words following the initial blending for reading. The faster the kids read the words, the more they can divert their attention to comprehension of the text.
Participation in this Erasmus project has also provided the school with some funding to invest in the area of literacy. We have purchased books and educational materials to support the improvement of the reading skills of the students from the primary level. We look forward to using these books in the 2023/2024 school year.
The reading club
During this school year, as part of the Bridging Bilingualism Erasmus+ Project, we introduced The reading club to our students with the aim of encouraging independent reading sessions in the classroom. Designed to enhance independent reading, The reading club empowers children to explore books of their choice while providing a structured and goal-oriented approach. The books are both Romanian and English language, so this will help students to improve their reading level by learning in a bilingual mode.
