About us

Our mission is to help children and young adults in Kosovo to develop their reading comprehension and motivate them to read different types of literature. We believe that reading opens up a whole new world for the reader, giving an insight into how other people live today, and have lived in other times and places. Reading contributes to developing language skills, the empathic ability and challenging the reader’s values. Moreover, reading benefits the individual as well as the society as more people get better at understanding themselves and their environment. Likewise, good reading comprehension and communication skills pave the way for democracy and greater social responsibility.

Thus, good reading comprehension is crucial to think critically, making decisions and learning in general.

We want to provide a structure for students and teachers to use when reading and analyzing literature. We are inspired by the Swedish reading initiative “A Reading Class” based on proven research-based models. Read more about these under “Models.”

Our team consists of a variety of professionals a few of whom have no previous experience within the educational sector. Three of the team members are teachers who encompass the pedagogical competence and they have years of experience working with reading comprehension methods with children and young adults. Our passion for literature and desire to make it available for children in desperate need for it is what unites and motivates us to run this project . We do this voluntarily and rely on your help to fulfill this.
