Pupil astonishes peers by devouring 26 books during vacation break
In the heart of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the city of Ludwigslust played host to an exciting summer reading event called "Ferien-Lese-Lust MV Lesen tut gut." This year's edition saw 81 students from 4th to 6th grades of Ludwigslust's schools participating, with a total of 435 books being read.
The initiative, organised by the Ludwigslust city library, has been an independent reading club exclusively for students from the federal state since 2014. This year, 45 libraries were able to participate, thanks to financial support from the Ministry of Education.
Comic books, particularly "Greg's Diary," were particularly popular among participants this year. The project has been running in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern since 2010, and over 30,000 children have participated since its inception.
Students must fill out a questionnaire for each book read to ensure the reading has been done, and only books from the club selection are allowed, most of which are new releases. At the gymnasium, there are no extra grades, but eager readers are praised and honored in class.
In Ludwigslust's Lenné school, students can earn a "one" in German for reading three books, and a "two" for reading two books. The closing party for the reading action took place in the large hall of the Ludwigslust cinema, and the surprise film "Little Gangster" was shown.
This year, Emma Pauline Lorenz, a student from Ludwigslust, won the "Ferien-Lese-Lust" action by reading 26 books during the summer holidays. Nick Meier, another student, came in second place by reading 10 books. The reading club is free of charge.
The idea for the reading club originated from the USA. Over 120,000 children's and youth books have been read as part of the project. The "Ferien-Lese-Lust" reading project has been a success story in Ludwigslust, fostering a love for reading among its young residents.
