Boeing Mobile Resource Unit Program: Reading Road Trip

 Three mobile libraries, purchased with a grant from the Boeing Foundation, started their journey around the West Bank on November 1, 2010. Nine participating schools will each host the library for a period of ten weeks, competing for the right to take full possession of one of the libraries at the end of the project. The project focuses on improving the quality of English language reading experiences for students in grades 4 – 6, and participating teachers have been trained on the use of generic reading response activities to monitor the reading activity of students using the libraries. Prizes will be given to the student in each school who reads the most books, as assessed by the completion of the most response activities, and to classes who read more than 150 books.
