    Score a Book!
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2022-11-21) Robben, Jolanda
    Score a Book! is a unique reading program for children and families in the Netherlands. It combines football with reading, because you can score anywhere! Score a Book! uses the power of football to increase the reading pleasure and motivation of children and families. Professional football players are used as role models. Score a book! is an example of a family-wide approach to reading pleasure and fostering a language-rich home environment. The program consists of a School and Home edition, which are inextricably linked. On our poster we show how we have implemented the family approach. What happens in the classroom and at home? What are the results?

    Vakantielezen (Holiday Reading)
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2023-10-03) Robben, Jolanda; Bauw, Ralph; Koopman, Amanda
    In the Netherlands, the summer reading program 'Vakantielezen' (Holiday Reading) is causing high temperatures… With our poster we show how libraries in the Netherlands are working together to maintain the reading level of young readers during the holidays. Because reading opens a window to the world and together we can contribute to give children equal opportunities. 'Vakantielezen' is an exciting journey for beginning readers (6-8 years). The program is an initiative of Biblionet Groningen and has been offered to libraries throughout the Netherlands through the collaboration with the National Library (KB). It is a unique program aimed at 3 pillars: school - home - library. It starts in primary schools all over the Netherlands. Pupils will read and keep track of where they have been on a map with 6 fantasy countries that match the themes of children’s books: Animal Kingdom, Creepy Coast, Funny Land, Sportsmania, Fairytale Islands and Adventureland. 'Vakantielezen' continues during the summer holidays. Children go on a reading adventure with stories written by wellknown children's book authors. Families can also participate in activities in the libraries. With our poster we show what 'Vakantielezen' is and what impact it has. We hope that our poster inspires colleagues and maybe we can set up an international collaboration in 2024.
