Please join Children's Reading Summit Team USA to fund the second Children's Reading Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia which is scheduled  for March 12-13, 2020.  The funds will go towards expenses related to the summit, in securing the venue and hiring translators to engage in a united conversation.   We believe this conversation is vital for the advancement of literacy initiatives across the country.     Last year, we had the First Children's Reading Summit which produced a seismic shift in highlighting collaboration amongst educators, librarians, government officials, academics, publishers, authors, illustrators, and other non-profits, in addressing literacy issues.  As a result, the Ministry of Education has endorsed our Second Children's Reading Summit to examine supporting their existing curriculum, addressing professional development needs, the lack of quality books, and the development of efficient pipeline to get books into the hands of children.  A similar concept would be..."farm to table" ...only "pages to lap".  Every child deserves a quality book to snuggle and read!                                                  Introduction to Some of the Team members My name is Carol Settgast. I’ve spent the last ten years volunteering with Ethiopia Reads as a trainer and curriculum writer. In 2010, I was introduced to Ethiopia Reads through a Kansas State University sponsored Fulbright Hays Study Abroad Program. My career as an elementary school library media specialist has been a perfect fit in helping strengthen literacy and library skills in Ethiopia. I partner with fellow volunteers, such as Dr. Laurie Curtis, from around the U.S. and abroad to work alongside talented Ethiopia Reads staff developing training modules for educators and librarians. Dr. Laurie Curtis is the Chair of the Ethiopia Reads Book Centered Learning (BCL) Committee.  Her background includes teaching elementary school for fifteen years before serving fourteen years as a professor at Kansas State University. She co-lead the 2010 Fulbright Hays Group to Ethiopia and has returned many times to provide professional training for Ethiopia Reads. Under her leadership, the BCL Committee and Ethiopia Reads staff were able to gather qualitative and quantitative data concerning the needs of Ethiopian School Libraries/Librarians This was the foundation for creating the twenty-three Book Centered Learning (BCL) training modules and manual to address library organization, engaging students in reading, and professional development and advocacy.  (The video depicts Dr. Laurie Curtis in 2015, when our BCL professional development and advocacy work started.) However, our favorite days during training sessions, are the days we get to visit schools and talk with children about reading, about their favorite books, about what they are learning. When we visit school libraries, frequently a child will volunteer to read to us. Oh, my heart! That is the best!
