Statement of Purpose

My respect to...
The pandemic has touched many students with heightened stress, disruptions and remote learning hurdles. The
consequences of lockdowns are magnifying the existing literacy challenges and exponentially increasing the
inequity between children who are supported to read and those who aren’t. Thus, many children have lost the
momentum of reading, leading to a literacy lockdown.
We teachers are not just fighting the virus, but we are also fighting for literacy. We can’t just sit down and leave
the students hanging in midair confused and even lost.
So in partnership with the CID program BE More Village Super Sail goes to, a mobile reading carousel has been
offered to address reading gaps, develop the love for reading and explore on new adventures of learning. bringing
the firsthand experience of adventure at their doorsteps. This BE MORE MisOr Mobile Reading on Carousel is
designed to ensure support of reading development and exposure of children to different reading materials and
activities.

This initiative aims to:


1. Improve reading vocabularies, better comprehension, critical and analytical skills
2. Develop the love for reading through the exposure of mobile reading materials on carousel in their own
community
3. express emotions, values, opinions as it builds connections from readings of books borrowed in the mobile
reading on carousel
4. Reinforce and align reading programs of schools to facilitate struggling reading learners by exposing them
to different reading materials
5. broadens the horizon of collaboration and engagement of community and stakeholders to develop the love
for reading

This is in partnership with the stakeholders in the municipality, barangay, SK and active lay volunteers. P arents
now serve as the primary teachers and they can set the stage for establishing reading as a pleasurable pursuit. and
let me tell you that joy is the magic ingredient. It is very important to make reading fun and enjoyable. Offer
reading to the children as a chocolate and not a chore.
In this time of pandemic, we need to be vaccinated but this is not enough to make us healthy. We need our mind to
be healthy as well. Healthy mind equals healthy body. We may be stressed but our children has been greatly
affected too and I believe that a story a day keeps the pandemic stress away.
According to Prisco Piscitelli, UNESCO Chair on Health Education and Sustainable Development, who co-
authored a 2020 study on the link between reading children’s literature and wellbeing , he said that “Reading
stories, especially fantasy, is a ‘social vaccination’ against all the restrictions because they help children find a way
to exit what COVID-19 put into play,”
That is why this project will not only aim to help struggling readers and improve vocabulary and comprehension
but will also serve as an avenue for recreation, bonding and addressing any social-emotional challenges
occasioned by the pandemic.
“Very few children’s stories don’t have a resolution. It might not be a happy ending, but it gives children a new
perspective that things might feel scary and dire right now, but better days are coming.”
As the COVID-19 pandemic rolls on—along with uncertainty that comes with it—we can use books as part of our
resilience and recovery toolkit.
Teachers and stakeholders, this is the best time that we must stand, work hand and hand, use whatever resources
we have and do whatever we can to teach a child, to save a child – one book at a time.
Thank you!
