I found an interesting document from Arizona titled Books and Pets Our Friends for Life Arizona Reading Program Manual which is a reading program in collaboration with the Arizona humane society. The program is a collaboration also with the humanities council and libraries. The manual gives information on the running of the reading program in communities across Arizona. The set up of the manual is very useful in creating your own program with evaluation material, bibliographies of humane education books, and games for kids. It also give set up instructions including incentives and prizes for students. There are also areas to help plan for the success of your own individual program.
I personally think that it is great for educators and students to work together with reading and collaborating with the community. Bringing books to students and teaching about humane education is great. This gives me a great idea for using technology with this same format. Why not have a humane education ebook library so that this program really could be put in place for every child. This way if the children live in rural areas they can read the same books as their peers and work toward these educational goals together. Also having this program available with ebooks t can work in the classroom too. Finally as long as you are near a computer you can read the book. This way no one ever has to wait for a book to be returned especially if all the children are reading the same books.
