Several years ago, the students of SD Cibeureum only had reading activity in the class. They almost never read books outside of the class, because they did not have any reading books, they had only students books. No wonder, we could find a student who was on third grade but can not read properly. Goldteak started the program “ Let’s read a story books”, the students were enthusiastic when they read books together at the school porch. Starting with a bilingual story books for young kids (Indonesian & English), now they read social & science books (encyclopedia).
From reading activities they are interested to do more activities, related with simple experiments for simple science (like to prove that water and oil does not mixed). They also like to do gardening and do a hydroponic at their school yard. They display they work on the Bazar Day, where they can earn money by selling their products to their parents.
Reading is the beginning of the braveness to follow the competition, then the students will know their ability and their knowledge.
