Education

It is a recurring extracurricular program that promotes reading for elementary students or non-schooled children under 12. The program aims to contribute to their development as independent and competent readers.

It begins by sparking interest in reading among children and subsequently guides them to improve comprehension and purposeful writing. Additionally, it helps them develop fundamental communication skills: speaking, reading, listening, and writing.

Reading on Wheels was initiated by the Letras en Acción Foundation, which encouraged us to create a collaborative program that honors the legacy of Don René De Sola: supporting children’s literature and enhancing the quality of education in Venezuela.

Currently, Reading on Wheels operates at Don Bosco School in the Turumo sector of Caucagüita. In each cycle, it serves over 120 children, who are gifted a book upon completing the program.

Aula 360 is a program designed to strengthen the reading and writing skills of third and fourth-grade students (ages 9 to 10), with a special emphasis on those who have not yet mastered these fundamental abilities.

To achieve this, the program promotes collaborative teamwork between psychopedagogues and classroom and physical education teachers. It combines innovative pedagogical strategies with digital tools to accelerate the learning process and bridge educational gaps.

Aula 360 has a training and teacher support component, as well as providing educational materials and technological resources for the school or the specialist.

This is a program we design and coordinate for the Education Alliance (Alianza por la Educación) with the purpose of providing children with a productive use of their after-school time.

We achieve this through guided play-based activities that promote literacy by exploring various types of texts within a safe and protective environment.

The program is implemented in 109 schools across 7 regions of Venezuela, impacting 4,360 children in vulnerable communities.

Read, Play, and Learn is a teaching and learning program for reading and writing designed for first and second-grade primary school students. It is led by the Center for Innovation, Educational Quality, and Intelligence (CICEI) of the Metropolitan University (UNIMET).

Fundación Impronta is one of the social organizations partnering in this initiative and is responsible for its implementation in schools throughout Caucagüita, reaching more than 1,200 students and teachers.

Read, Play, and Learn include professional training and mentorship for principals and teachers, as well as the provision of teacher guides and individual workbooks for every student.
