Reading has a great importance for knowledge-based society and economy. It is visible that students’ interest in our school towards reading book, newspaper, magazine and any electronical material is low. Again at the interviews with teachers, it is identified that they have deficiency in teaching reading and improving reading skills. Based on these problems, we prepared a Project of Teaching Reading Politics and Applications in Europe Education. In this sense, we would like to develop teaching reading skills of teachers in primary levels, establish European cooperation with the aim of learning and developing factors which effects gaining reading skills, applied national and international politics, systems in countries which are successful in application, examples of good practices. Reading skill is a tool for accepted educational right according to Human Rights Declaration (Article 26). According to International Student Reading Evaluation research results carried out by European countries in the last 10 years, European Council puts the goal of reducing failure in reading below 15% by year 2020. To reach this goal decision givers and teachers have a critical role. So to improve teaching reading and gaining reading skills qualified and informed teachers are needed. Professional development of teachers is a key to increasing reading skills and student success. It is clear that the importance of developing reading skills of teachers is very great. Therefore teachers must specialized in this subject and establish relation between reading approaches. For our teachers to specialized 10 day trainings are planned in Germany, Lithuania and Portugal. In this context, our projects objectives are: - To learn innovative educational methods to improve reading skills, - To increase reading success, - To learn teaching reading approaches in Europe, - To learn educational politics in Europe, - To increase school and teacher quality in teaching reading, - To determine out-of-school factors effecting school success, - To develop taken precautions for supporting students who has learning difficulties and need special education, - To gain good applications and sources in Europe for developing reading skills, - To visit educational institutions and examine on-site.
