Lessons are designed to encourage students to read as a passion, not a task
A new UAE scheme aims to offer free study courses for public school students to improve their reading skills and see it as a passion.
The Emirates Institute of Higher Education has launched the ‘iRead’ programme as part of its ongoing innovation in developing future education leaders.
The “iRead” program is aimed at students and teachers in all ESE schools. Subscription is free and meetings are held every Friday from 9am to 11.30am at the UAE Institute of Higher Education Library and Learning Support Centre.
ESE Emirates Schools Agency will play a key role in coordinating with schools and other entities access to ECAE’s Libraries and Learning Support Centres for ‘iRead’ activities. The student groups that the program focuses on are Kindergarten, Cycle 1, Cycle 2, and Cycle 3.
The “iRead” program will not only be a gathering place for students and teachers to read, but will also teach them to read beyond the arts. Through interactive activities, teachers will improve their skills and allow children to see reading as a passion, not a task.
“This is an initiative to encourage our children to read and acquire knowledge. Harness the power of knowledge to proudly and professionally overcome any challenge for their beloved country, the UAE!” said Dr May Al Taee, Vice-Chancellor, UAE Institute of Higher Education.
Pediatricians will participate in this initiative to demonstrate their knowledge of how healthy reading is and to emphasize that every reader has a bill of rights.
