3. (Developing Student Reading Skills) Proposal
I.EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
With our country’s rapidly expanding population and a huge youth bulge, reading is
a critical topic in contemporary Yemen. Unfortunately, Yemen’s educational
systems are strained beyond capacity and many prospective students lack the
opportunity to develop their reading skills.
II. PURPOSE and BENEFITS:
This project aims to:
 Develop effective reading skills that can help target subjects handle the
reading process smoothely and effectively,
 Enhance Reading as a process that involoves many stages with a special focus
on the “comprehension” phase,
 Encourage students to check out their understanding of what they read and
use strategies such as previewing, annotating, outlining, summarizing and
analyzing. This would take the reading process to another level, for instance,
writing a review or critique,
 Create an atmosphere of effective interaction and engagement among the
school family.

III. STATEMENT of WORK:
Many visits will be paid to the target schools to encourage students implementing
effective reading strategies.
IIII. ACTIONS to be IMPLEMENTED:
Involving writing and drawing in the process of reading. This helps a student
become a better reader. Some students love to be creative when it comes to
drawing, and illustrations that add visual imagery to stories.
Providing free readings: Giving students the opportunity to explore and improve their
reading skills in their area of interest”
Games help students learn new words which will improve their reading skills.
Assigning a small, interesting book to students every day/week/month, and
allow the students to choose their books individually. Later, students tell their
classmates the summary of the story/book they read. Students should not take
this as boring homework . It should be interesting enough for them to
undertake.
IIIII. PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
This project aims to establish a positive perspective towards reading in the society.
It is hoped that it can create a turning point in primary schools where young students
hopefully will be able to develop effective reading skills and enjoy reading for
different purposes.

The ultimate goal of the project is to prepare young learners and leaders for a better
future of Yemen. Volunteers are expected to pay visits to school and read for the
students and help them comprehend the story in an engaging way. By giving the
student a preview of what the book is trying to convey, it’s hoped that the student
will be interested in reading books. It’s not only about helping students read, but
also creating a personal bond with the students and become mentors for them in
their lives. We hope to inspire a few learners who will carry on our support for
them when they are adults. Our long term goal for this project is to build an
educational foundation for students so that they can achieve their goals in life. We
want to inspire and encourage our students to pay more attention to reading and
realize the power reading provides.
IIIIII. OUTCOMES:
To monitor our progress as we move toward our goal of developing an enhanced
culture of reading by increasing recreational reading on Schools, we have selected
the following Student Learning Outcomes:
Student Learning Outcome 1: Students will engage in more reading-based
activities, both recreationally and related to their coursework.
Student Learning Outcome 2: Students will show improved reading skills over
their course of study at Schools.
IIIIIII. WORKPLAN:
By March 10, 2013: Finalizing the project’s plan
By April 17, 2013: Indentifying which students will be working with
By April 23, 2013: Working with the students
Training sessions: From 11:45 AM until 1:45 PM
