Unleashing the Power of Words in Weiden-Neustadt
Let's talk about a fresh initiative aiming to boost literacy skills among our young ones. The city of Weiden and the district of Neustadt/WN are joining forces with regional players to form a new association, "Mentor - The Reading Helpers Weiden-Neustadt e.V." This association is geared towards supporting primary school students struggling with reading. Mark your calendars, as the inaugural meeting kicks off on March 2, 6 p.m. at the Weiden Regional Library.
