In 1997 Fundación Leer signed a license agreement with Reading is Fundamental, Inc. (RIF), organization that works
since 1966 in the field of reading promotion in United States of America.. In this way, it managed to apply its
programs in Argentina, making all the necessary adjustments to adapt them to the local reality.
In 2004 Fundación Leer started to work jointly with the Open Society Institute to implement in Argentina its
programs Step by Step and Reading and Writing for Critical Thinking dedicated to improve school performance
through teaching strategies that promote the active learning. These programs include families in the educational
process of children, and foster democratic values at school.
From its very beginnings, Fundación Leer has developed its own programs whose goal is to respond to specific
problems and needs identified in our country.

SECTION 2: OUR PROGRAMS
We are a non-profit organization created in 1997 with a clear objective: to contribute to
children and young people education in Argentina through the promotion of reading.
Our educational programs seek to improve educational
conditions of girls and boys in vulnerable condition and
enhance their reading competencies. Although we work
with children and young people since they are born up to
they are 18 years old, we focus on those attending
kindergarten and primary school.
We work every day together with teachers, authorities,
community leaders and families all over Argentina,
providing educational resources, advisory and training
for the promotion of reading. We believe that reading
and the proximity to books are indispensable for the
personal development and full insertion of children in
the complex present society.
The National Reading Marathon, the contests and other
campaigns allow us to reach the whole country and
transmit our working philosophy on a larger scale.
We reach educational institutions
schools, public
libraries, hospitals, health centers, homes, amongst
others - and coordinate our work with authorities and
other key social organizations. We also develop
proposals to reach families directly, which play a
fundamental role in children´s education. Additionally,
we continuously try to improve our processes by
incorporating new technologies in our organization.
Working Areas
In 2014 we worked on the following areas:
1- Early literacy in children development centers, kindergartens and community organizations.
2- Literacy for school-aged children at schools, health centers, libraries and
community organizations.
3- Family literacy.
4- Teacher training.
In 2014, our annual campaign, the 12th National
Reading Marathon again expanded its message from schools
to families and incorporated a schedule of contents
and activities during that day for the families
to follow through our social networks.

This is a reading promotion program which improves the
educational opportunities of socially vulnerable children
through the creation of children libraries

in schools’ everyday life, and give institutions that lack of
books the possibility of having them.

“I highlight the importance of the Foundation´s
work, since they not only provide materials and a
corner for pleasant reading, but they also give
the children their own books and in this way
reading is also settled in their homes. (…)
Students feel interested in working in the library
on defined days, and they also go in school
breaks and borrow a book to read at home. We
observe they care about the Reading Corner, and
they accept and respect the rules previously
agreed with them.”
Teacher at EGB Nº 56 “Leopoldo Marechal” school,
Buenos Aires.
“The implementation
of the Reading Corner and the
Book Events was excellent.
Through the program the
relationship between the
reader, adult or child, and
books was strengthened. The
children found in the activities
a space for fun and
encountered and participated
actively and enthusiastically.
We are very happy and
grateful.”

READY TO LIVE (PREPARADOS PARA VIVIR)
Ready to Live is a program aimed to children between 9
and 12 years old that contributes to develop some of the
personal and social skills they will need to get on in such a
complex society as the one we live in. Through projects in
which the reading of several literary works is present,
children deal with different topics such as self-esteem,
empathy, how to tackle the peer pressure, how to care
themselves and the environment they live in, their
community role, their different learning styles and the
importance of studying and attending school.

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL ARGENTINA
Together with Tecpetrol S.A. we implemented a Project to
promote reading in Catriel, in Río Negro province,
destined to benefit children, their families and the
Kindergarten schools of that locality. The project aspired
to promote the approach to books of the children and
their families and the wish to incorporate reading as a
daily life activity. Also, it sought to strengthen the
educational institutions through training their teachers,
the delivery of resources (travelling backpacks with books
and board games, which went from one educational
institution to another) and books which enriched the
reading areas.

School stood up; they made masks about the story that
was read and they were able to tell us what they had
done by themselves. I truly believe the institutions that
participated deserve a special mention since, as the
teachers told us, they not always have the adequate
conditions to develop the activities they would really
desire, and it is difficult for them to carry out this type
of programs, so I think it has an added value.”
Manager of La Anónima branch market at Tolhuin,
Tierra del Fuego.
“The Program
“Desafío Leer” (Reading
Challenge) was a very good
experience, since it was the first
time we implemented a cultural
extension network with primary
schools. It was an opportunity to
spread what our library can offer
to educate readers at their early
age. It was useful to consolidate
the social projection in the
community, attract new readers
and visitors and increment the
bibliographic patrimony for the
reading corner.”

COMMUNITARY LITERACY
READING CORNERS IN COMMUNITY CENTERS
Through this program the educational opportunities for
vulnerable children are improved by the creation of
children´s libraries in community centers daily visited by
the children and their families.
Fundación Leer understands that the promotion of
reading and literacy are the clues to children´s
development, their educational success and subsequent
social. With this aim, the program not only creates
reading areas and trains community referents, but also
achieves to place reading and the development of
language in a relevant space of families everyday life.

“Thanks to the assembly of the Reading Corner there is more
enthusiasm and interest in connecting with texts, besides we take
advantage of the Corner to develop specific activities such as
performances, dramatizations and stage plays that generate the
children´s frequent visits and better approach to reading. Adults have
applied and developed gratifying experiences with all age groups,
amongst equals, inter classrooms and shifts, as well as with parents.
Families´ accompaniment was highly positive. Thousands of thanks
to all Fundación Leer team and to Fundación Air France for making
this possible!”
Referent of Children Development Centers “Padre Benito López”,
Formosa.
READING CORNERS IN HEALTH CENTERS
The program Reading Corners in Health Centers
intends to create a space for reading in children´s daily
lives, Therefore it proposes the creation of Reading
Corners in those places where children and their families usually attend.
Reading provides pediatric health institutions with
resources to be incorporated in different stages of the
care process. It helps children to be carried away to
imaginary places by providing moments of joy and
supporting them to deal with difficult situations they
have to face.
This program was supported by: Penguin Random House Editorial Group // Institutions: 9 // Locations: 2 // Books:
900 // Participating children: 490
“The Reading Corner in the waiting
room generated a growing participation of
boys and girls in the proposal, a positive
highlight from the Development Center´s
coworkers and proposal that made attending
patients easier. As of the training received we
believe improving the children´s reading
competencies is possible”

“I participate as a volunteer at de Foundation (Leer) because I fully share
their objectives. Education is the principal way to surpass ourselves.
Those of us who have had the opportunity to achieve a tertiary level
have to give back with our contribution so that other people with
limited resources can access it. This Foundation is an example to follow,
either because of its programs, because of who implement them, and
above all because of those who have the responsibility of administrate
it. For all of these reasons, I feel part of the Foundation.”

“The experience of telling stories in a primary school was excellent. The
institution gave us a very good welcome and the training was according to the
needs to implement the program. I will never forget the happy faces of the
children when they saw us and the drawings they gave us as a gift with a kiss
and a hug”.
Young & Rubicam S.A. Volunteer.
“At the school they received us in the best way, the
children behaved more than well, and they were very
interested both in the stories and the subsequent
activity. For me it was an unforgettable experience,
perhaps since it was the first time. The children
continually demonstrated affection to us, even though
they had not met us before! Most probably many of
them have very hard realities, and I had the feeling that
at least for that hour and a half we shared, they were in
a world according to their age, using their imagination
and I believe they enjoyed very much. Thank you for the
effort you make to carry out these activities, and I wish
to be part in other opportunities”.
“I think that the
program was very important
because it gave a place in which
it was guaranteed the children
had a rich interaction with high
quality books and it provided the
teachers the possibility to work
in a systematic way encouraging
the learning and initiating them
as readers. The assembling of the
Corner achieved great
participation of the families and
great work of volunteers, who
were of real help to carry forward
the program”.

PERSPECTIVES
2015 is presented to Fundación Leer as a year full of challenges that will be marked by the overall economic situation of our
country. In a rather unpredictable context, our organization will go on doing its best efforts to contribute from the private sector
to our children´s education, to promote their pleasure for reading and support their development as autonomous readers.
In this sense, our task will continue to focus on offering children the access to books, offering schools and any other type of
centers the possibility of creating attractive reading spaces to change school dynamics around reading, supporting teacher
training by bringing research advances to the classroom and favoring awareness of adults in charge of children, in the
community´s institutions and at home, about their essential role in their children’s approach to reading.
Despite early education and literacy at primary school will continue to be our two main focus, we will work to handle the
demand from other sectors requesting us to reach secondary schools and other areas of society with our projects.
To do so, we will go on supporting our work through the possibilities allowed by new information technologies, we will gradually
incorporate the electronic book in our projects and we will increasingly offer on-line resources.
By all means, we will go on coordinating our work with national, provincial and local public authorities. Volunteers´ support will
continue to be essential for our activities.
Additionally, we will continue to work strongly to offer individuals the possibility of being members of Fundación Leer, an
essential aspect to accompany the financing our institution receives from other sources, such as corporations and trusts.
The National Reading Marathon will again be a core idea for Fundación Leer, as it allows us to multiply our message and way
of working throughout the country. One more year, we will invite the whole family to participate. Only if everybody´s
participation, a literate and reading Argentina will be possible.
The financial statements of Fundación Leer are audited every year by PriceWaterHouseCoopers, who presented their
report without observations for the year balance ending on December 31, 2014, on April 15, 2015. To obtain a
complete copy of these financial statements, please contact our Executive Office, Fundación Leer, Av. Cerviño
