Lesefüchse e.V.

Lesefüchse e.V. is a charitable organisation and one of the biggest regional reading initiatives in Germany. Since its founding in October 2003, about 300 volunteers have been involved regularly in the project today. Our Lesefüchse volunteers reach more than 1000 children on a weekly basis who enchant children with magic stories while encouraging them to read themselves at different locations in Munich such as public libraries, primary schools, special needs educational center. The organisation specifically targets children from socially disadvantaged families and families with migration backgrounds. During the reading hours, the four to eleven year old kids can experience how storytelling can inspire imagination. Through regular reading, listening and storytelling, children can playfully develop their vocabulary and their verbal skills.
