The project “Mein Papa liest vor… und meine Mama auch!” by the Stiftung Lesen was a project to promote reading. The project was aimed at all working fathers and mothers with children from infancy to twelve years old. The goal was to give parents, especially fathers, the opportunity to become more prominent as reading role models for their children and to fulfill their role as influential reading promoters. All JGU employees could download a new read-aloud story every week and read it to their children at home. The stories have a reading duration of about ten minutes and take into account the different interests of boys and girls, various age groups, and cultural backgrounds.
For legal reasons, we are only permitted to make the stories available to JGU employees and unfortunately not to students. If you, as an employee, would like to have access to the stories, please send us an email from your university account.
At the end of 2018, the read-aloud service “Mein Papa liest vor… und meine Mama auch!” expired. Instead, the new free story service “einfach vorlesen!” is now available to you. At www.einfachvorlesen.de, three new stories await you weekly.
