The acronym of the project is TITLE - Teaching, Improving and Training Literacy Education. Since PISA research showed that the results of Croatian, Portuguese and Italian students are below average considering reading literacy, and Estonian students were 5th among tested countries, we decided to improve these skills among students. We were guided by the PISA definition of reading literacy as the ability needed to reach personal goals, develop the reader’s potential and knowledge and achieve active participation in society through understanding and evaluating texts while reading.The main objectives of the project are development and improvement of students’ reading literacy, improvement of students' linguistic literacy and popularization of reading various kinds of texts in printed and digital sources. On the project will be actively involved around 100 teachers and around 900 students from all partner schools. Most of the activities will be carried out by language teachers and librarians, but the project will involve all subjects in school so every teacher will be somewhat involved in the development of these basic skills. Students who will take part in this project are 11 to 15 years old. Parents will have the opportunity to take part in some of the activities of the project. Most activities will be common for all partner schools. One of them will be designing an area in the school called the Book Nook, where students will be able to read peacefully, spend time, where a book club will be run, and numerous activities with parents or younger students held. Book Nook will encourage other students to read and will be thematically decorated based on the books that students read. Each partner school has selected one writer and a piece of literature to be read by all students actively involved in the project. Students will also produce illustrated cards based on these books. This will foster their creativity, and book-related workshops will encourage the development and improvement of their reading literacy. Additionally, through numerous exercises held throughout regular school subjects and through extracurricular activities students will work on the development of reading literacy. From these exercises that teachers will use we will make a manual that will serve in the further work of all teachers. Three eTwinning projects will be launched before Short-term exchanges of groups of pupils.The methodology that will be used to carry out the project are active learning methods like creative writing, meditation methods (fantasy journey, imagination of texts), project learning, cross-curriculum methods (combining music with literacy), creative work, critical thinking, problem-solving, research games, collaborative learning, etc.By having an active role during this project, students will learn how to approach different types of texts and read them with comprehension. This will improve their general knowledge, understanding of context and grades. They will be able to recognize false or sensational news by researching authors and subjects on scientific databases. Students will be able to express themselves and their emotions through the written word with acquired linguistic literacy skills or through spoken word, thanks to their widened vocabulary. Students’ self-esteem will be improved, and they will have more general knowledge such as climate change. Improvement of linguistic literacy will be based on learning and applying rules of language expression, grammar and writing in their native and foreign languages. The popularization of reading of various kinds of texts in printed and digital sources will be achieved through meetings with authors, family nights at school, etc. Students' creativity in writing a graphic novel and creating illustrated cards will be this project's heritage. Potential long-term benefits for participating students are skills that they will gain or perfect by using them in all subjects and throughout education, but also in everyday life, as they will learn how to approach any type of text critically, and will have a broader knowledge of the culture and problems of the present. Partner schools will after this project have illustrated cards based on the books that students have read that can be used for a variety of purposes, from stimulating creativity and designing stories to workshops regarding social skills and emotions. Teachers will learn and develop methods of working with students and of adequately transferring the knowledge and skills needed for their entire education and life. In addition, we will publish and disseminate a collection of exercises for the development of reading literacy, decks of illustrated cards and tactile books to neighboring schools and educational institutions. Learned methods, acquired knowledge and produced materials will be beneficial for teachers working with students with fewer opportunities.
