IN SCHOOL
When words come alive, education thrives.

THE BOOK IN SCHOOL helps young learners to engage actively with the written word.
Using their senses and with interactive learning activities, students tranform into confident, fluent readers.

RESULTS
Our teaching methods lead to convincing results:
-
Up to 90% improvement in reading skills within two months
-
Performance progress in related subjects and improved social skills: language skills, literary analysis, independent and interdisciplinary thinking, creativity, team building and communications skills.
INTERDISCIPLINARY LEARNING
Understanding of text occurs when readers build connections between the text and their previously acquired knowledge. In the project, connections are made between the biblical text and other subjects e.g. social studies, citizenship education, religious education, geography or history.
