hello, I organize and host the World Reads for Children & World Shares Child-rearing Experience project.

Will you share your book-reading with your child(ren) with the world by uploading it to the project's web site?

I am trying to create a place for families from all over the world in various cultures and languages to come together on the web.

If you know another language, please pass on this message in that language to parents all over the world.

I also welcome volunteers who would translate the local languages that the videos are in, as well as people to spread the word out about the project.
I will introduce the submitted audio and video files on the WRC project web site.

The ultimate goal is to host a physical book reading fair with invited early childhood education experts and foreign ambassadors, but that will take much more time in preparation.


In addition, it could be pretty difficult for many mothers and fathers to attend an actual fair with their jobs, daily household affairs and family commitments.

As I got more involved in the planning of WRC project, I thought about how I can make available seemingly remote world's children's books and reading samples to everyone. And I realized that the internet and the technology already exist!

I am looking forward to working with parents, children, publishers, writers, educators and more across the globe in sharing the wonderful world of books and stories.
If any corporations are interested in sponsoring us, or if there are web sites that are willing to support us, do contact us!

If you are a children's book writer or publisher, please introduce your book on the video and give us a demonstration of book-reading.

Let's give the gift of book-reading in your native language using your selection of books. I will deliver it to families who are eager to know how your children's education takes place in your home.

I hope we can all share the wonderful tradition of story-telling in various countries.
It would also be neat to archive many of the disappearing languages and stories along the way.

If you are uploading your book-reading on YOUTUBE or other video web sites, please standardize the tiltle as below so that it is easier for the rest of us to search.

WRC project: (the language), (book/story title) by (reader name/screen name/anonymous)

For example; "WRC project: Japanese, The Very Hungry Caterpiller by Kaoru"

As you submit your files, I will screen and rummage through the collection of various languages, dialects, accents, ages, locales, and introduce the best on the web site.

I am also hoping to add translation as much as possible.
I would appreciate it if anyone can add comments or subtitles to the videos.
We can all pull together and overcome the language difference!

I am working to get permission to upload video files of foreign embassodors in Japan reading books to children from my previous interviews with them. I hope to update soon!

I welcome all your comments and ideas.

Come join the Wold Reads for Children project!

Thank you, in advance!
