Enhancing Reading and Reading Awareness (A Readership Program)

    

 

     For my AP Family, I created this contest for appreciating each of the AP writers and for also

 

knowing that your great skills in writing would help me build a fun and tangible learning for children (If my

 

 plan would brought in reality).

 

 

      I would like you to look after this link (http://allpoetry.com/poem/4145069) please make a heart in

 

reading.

                                                             

     When you read I want you to create any composition, any from the following:

 

 

1. Poems

 

 

2. Stories (fantasy, children stories)

 

 

3. Songs

 

 

4. Any composition that would consider the following ideas/concept:

 

 

- that children must enjoy and create imagination in reading.

 

 

- Your entry/entries must build a good character or values while reading or after reading   

        

  (not necessary when, important is that good values exist).

 

 

- Your composition have something to do to enhance their reading skills (if you are familiar with the

 

 

reading skills children should develop then that would help you) or make them (your reader) realize the

 

 

importance of reading.

 

 

-  Your composition must not necessarily deep or a great composition rather, simple creation will be

 

much appreciated (as long as the children could easily understand it).

 

 

- Your entry/entries could be realistic or something to do with fantasies (reality could make them

 

understand and relate on it easily and fantasy would develop their imagination as well)

 

 

- As much as possible put many visual words where they can easily imagine and understand (if you

 

know what are the factors and concepts that would attract the interest of the children/reader).

 

Apparently, enough imagery...

 

 

- If you are still a gold member please put pictures, images, etc.

 

 

- Make your creation a fun and learning one.

 

 

- I don't want any erotics, you know what are the common rules plus my rules.

 

So please, consider these and follow cause you know what might happen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                  

 

     After all the weird stuffs and ungood taste rules (that make too much of you and I hope you do not

 

disregard it). I apologize for making too much of it and wishing too much from you. 

 

 

 

     I am willing to accept as much entries as you can.

 

 

    

     For those entries that I think great and will catch my taste then you will received the awards (as you

 

know those). For those who do not receive any honorable rewards do not worry because I'm going to

 

use or take them out for the readership program (if you read  my article from the above link).

 

 

 

    So I'm telling you now that your entries were very much appreciated and please keep making entries

 

for this contest.

 

 

     And if you have any suggestions, comments, help or aid that can give I am willing to accept it. I hope

 

that you understand that I need such for making the program real.

 

 

    

      Everything that you are going to do for this one would benefit the readership program.

 

    

     Thank You! God bless you all!

  • Final notes:
    I apologize for making this contest too long for a cause. I am actually wishing for more entries to make a dream come true. I really wanna do so,. but for now, for astill thingking that I am young to make such ideas,. the things I want to consider want to dumped on an aisle.

    But I still hold the idea of foregoing in these things I already commited. The dedication of making this without having a second thought because there is atleast one who believed that I can.

    Again,. thanks for your entries. I really have the guts of reading each lines of your creation...continue doing things by means of poetry to help someone in need.
    Be generous,. nomatter what the good things you can give...

    Godbless!!!

    Hi Ruthy, may I suggest that you consider opening up the contest to prewrites? I see that you wish for as many entries as possible and many poets will have a write suitable for children already written, but not all may have the time to create a new write. Just an idea. All the best with your contest and with the Readership Programme, Yvette

    hi ruthy...this is a perfect way to start your readership program...actually nung nabasa ko yung unang link about this, naisip ko why not start a contest about the delights of reading...but your contest is far better than my theme...anways, maraming magagandang Prewritten poems...why not open your contest para sa mga pW? Mas maraming entries mas maraming pagpipilian. Well...this is just a suggestion. But anways, best wishes sa contest!!!

    you should open this up to pre-writes, I have several that are geared for Children, but to ask for a Children's write off the top of one's head is a thin idea, just a thought.

    Good idea;I'm afraid I can't read due to what appears to be a broken link. I'd get a mod to look at it.
    Thank you!
