Reading can be Hazardous to your Stupidity – a Reading Motivation Project in Ebenfurth

It seems easy and entirely logical. All first languages are afforded the same respect. There are multiple opportunities to be read to together with others, to read alone and to write. Each story is allowed to play a role, regardless of where it may originate geographically. Without proper acquisition of a native language, learning a second or third language is unlikely, and learning comes easier in an environment that fosters esteem. In Ebenfurth all the relevant groups seem to have joined forces and put together just such a comprehensive package, which is wonderful. We wish to award it a prize, both in itself and for its role as a model.
