I created Qesasjeh to make reading accessible to all children worldwide. Seeing how reading transforms lives, I noticed not every child has the same opportunity. Qesasjeh aims to change that.
At its heart, Qesasjeh is about spreading the joy of reading through innovative methods. We use interactive read-aloud sessions and puppets to engage kids, making stories come alive.
In practice, Qesasjeh is a multi-faceted approach to making reading accessible and enjoyable for children around the world. Here's what it looks like:
Interactive Read-Aloud Sessions: Qesasjeh conducts interactive read-aloud sessions in various settings, such as schools, community centers, and libraries. During these sessions, skilled facilitators engage children by reading aloud from captivating storybooks while encouraging participation and discussion. By incorporating interactive elements like asking questions, encouraging predictions, and fostering group discussions, these sessions not only enhance comprehension but also cultivate a love for storytelling and reading.
Use of Puppets: Qesasjeh incorporates the use of puppets to enhance engagement and interaction during storytelling sessions. Puppets serve as friendly characters that interact with both the storyteller and the children, adding an element of fun and creativity to the experience.
Qesasjeh has been spreading through a combination of grassroots efforts, partnerships, and digital outreach. Here's how:
Local Community Engagement: Qesasjeh has been actively engaging with local communities by organizing storytelling sessions, workshops, and events in schools, libraries, community centers, and other public spaces. These on-the-ground efforts have helped to raise awareness about Qesasjeh's mission and reach children who may not have easy access to books or storytelling activities.
Partnerships with Organizations: Qesasjeh has forged partnerships with schools, NGOs, literacy organizations, and other relevant stakeholders to expand its reach and impact. By collaborating with like-minded organizations, Qesasjeh has been able to leverage existing networks and resources to read
To learn more about how to experience this initiative, participants can contact me directly for assistance in organizing workshops on how to read aloud to children through social media platforms. This will enable you to start this initiative in your local communities. The initiative not only promotes educational and creative values among children but also provides a supportive environment.
