The municipal government has launched the “Little Readers, Big Future” project, which aims to cultivate pre-reading and pre-writing skills among children in 12 municipal kindergartens.
At the headquarters of the San Isidro Volunteer Firefighters Association, the municipality launched the “Little Readers, Bright Futures” program, whose goal is to support and inspire the initial literacy skills of more than 1,400 boys and girls attending kindergartens under its jurisdiction.
Through this initiative, San Isidro has its own resources and training team dedicated to literacy to cover all municipal gardens. This mission will benefit more than 170 teachers and directors working in local gardens.
“We want to help them, creating the necessary conditions and tools to improve learning outcomes in our kindergartens, considering that today literacy rates are at alarming levels. Statistics show that one in two Argentine third grade boys does not understand what they read. This is a great challenge and an inevitable commitment that we have for the Primary Education of the Municipality and for other levels of public and private administration,” said Mercedes Sanguineti, Minister of Education, Culture and Labor of San Isidro, in front of more than 150 leaders and teachers of the Municipality during the launch of the initiative.
The program, developed by the Deputy Minister of Community Education through the General Directorate of Education Management and Innovation, aims to provide stimulation from an early age to improve children’s basic skills in reading and writing and includes in-service activities not only training teachers but also providing teaching materials in the classroom, workshops for families, biweekly visits to institutions and evaluations to measure the learning outcomes achieved.
“We are experiencing an education emergency across the country, and San Isidro is no exception. This program is designed to provide a better, more hopeful future for our children today who are not yet reaching basic reading and writing proficiency. Directors and teachers are looking for help and training to address this issue, and we will be there,” added Sanguinetti.
In addition to this program, San Isidro has added other initiatives to strengthen education, such as teacher training days; free literacy and math training sessions for NGOs that run school support activities; a “Super Readers” festival aimed at improving children’s reading and writing skills through games; and participation in the #NoEntiendenLoQueLeen movement to raise awareness and reverse the dire situation of reading comprehension in our country.
