We recognize reading spaces as a fundamental part of the development of quality education. For this reason, as part of the implementation of Project PILEO (reading, writing and orality), a day was held to raise awareness and promote reading.
Thanks to the support of the Language area of the Pies Descalzos Institution - Cartagena and the Biblioparque de San Francisco, the students were motivated to read, which results in a love for letters and writing.
The activity consisted of a guided visit to the library for all grades: from transition to eleventh grade. The objective of this tour was for the students to learn about the functions, uses and resources of the library; in order to familiarize the student population with the spaces, as well as to strengthen reading habits, which are projected to writing.
Several spaces were proposed within the Library, including: books recommended for loan; the mural of compliments where the oral tradition was promoted, and the meaning of this oral resource as a strategy to praise the virtues of a man or a woman. In addition, there was a room called "the literary awning", where lullabies, night songs and night poems were presented.
Finally, the children were in the "paint your own story" room , where a story was read and the children let their imagination fly by drawing.
