LESEZEICHEN

With its reading sponsorship model, LESEZEICHEN is committed to supporting pupils in acquiring the key skills of reading and language, as these are important prerequisites for a successful school career. Reading also fires the imagination, builds self-confidence and creates fair educational opportunities.
At LESEZEICHEN, volunteers donate their time, skills and empathy to support children with fewer educational opportunities. The reading mentorships take place once a week for one school lesson in a 1:1 situation at one of 70 Munich cooperation schools. Under the motto “Strengthening education through bonding”, the joy of reading and learning is awakened in a playful way and without pressure to perform, and the pupils’ self-confidence is strengthened. The mentors act as role models and show the reading children that reading is fun and rewarding, that education is fun and that success brings satisfaction.
