We have impacted 120 kids, both boys and girls between 6 and 11 years old through our weekly workshops and reading comprehension activities lead by our experienced social worker.
We work with texts by Afro-Colombian authors, to highlight Colombian literature and ensure the children can identify with the content and language used. This makes understanding easier because it captures their attention more easily. We also do this literature review with applied methods of interpretation through art. We apply methodologies from various approaches for children to learn, because the traditional methods in these rural areas are not working. We continue working ethnic pride so that they feel in the classroom through reading about its uses and customs.
Through all of these methods we have seen big improvements in the literacy skills of these school children!
We are looking for publishers and editors to help us with the next phase of our Pechiches series. We have made contact with a few publishing houses but are still waiting for confirmation. We will keep you informed with how this goes.
