Readathon at IByCENECH

Abstract

Mexico, like many countries, was involved in the whirlwind that the COVID-19 experience gave us, however, as usual with disasters, we got through and this occasion was not the exception. In the same way, the Institución Benemérita y Centenaria Escuela Normal del Estado –IByCENECH–, in these times of crisis, sought how to solve and enhance the experiences and learning of the students, finding new and different alternatives to those that had been offered. For this reason, the implementation of the “IByCENECH Readathon” project –where there is room for teachers, administrators, and students of all levels– had a favorable response to the call. The participation rules consisted of reading books and writing their respective reviews. This process favored an approach to reading, writing, and sharing our reading experience to others, that world of letters turned into stories with great messages. This project arises with an explicit purpose of promoting the taste for reading, as well as being a self-help strategy in times of contingency and other implicit ones to attend the areas where narrative gets you involved, making time and space more pleasant.
