1Jordan: What Do Our Children Read?Jordana: Inona no famakin'ny zanatsika?
2“What do our children read?” is the question posed by Jordanian Batir Wardam (Ar), who finds himself pleading on behalf of a girl at a bookshop who wanted to buy a children's magazine against her nonchalant mother's wishes.“Inona no famakin'ny zanatsika ?” hoy Batir Wardam jordaniana (Ar) manontany, nanoloana ny fangatahan'ity zazavavy iray naniry hividy bokin'ankizy tao amin'ny toeram-pivarotam-boky iray kanefa nodian-dreniny fanina fotsiny.
3While at a bookstore, Wardam tunes into a conversation a young girl was having with her mother:Nandritry ny naha tao amina toeram-pivarotamboky iray azy no nandrenesan' i Wardam ny resaky ny zazavavy iray sy ny reniny:
4While I was at a bookshop buying a few magazines - I understand that this is strange but there are still some people committing the mistake of reading in Jordan - I overheard a young girl pleading with her mother, who was busy looking at fashion magazines, and asking her to buy a children's magazine.Raha nividy gazetiboky vitsivitsy tamina toeram-pivarotam-boky iray aho - zendana nahatsikaritra fa tena mbola misy foana olona manana fiheverana diso momba ny vaky boky aty Jordania aty - reko tsy nahy ity zazavavy iray niangavy an-dreniny mba hividy ireny boky famakin'ny ankizy ireny, ny reniny izay sondriana ery mifantina ireny gazetiboky miresaka endrika amam-bika ireny.
5The mother wasn't very concerned and told her daughter that the magazine was for older children and that she couldn't read anyway.Tsy rototra loatra ilay renim-pianakaviana namaly azy fa boky natao ho an'ny ankizy efa somary lehibebe kokoa ireny ka tsy tokony hovakiany akory.
6In reality, what the girl was asking for was a magazine with puzzles and solving riddles, which didn't need high reading skills and which the child, who appeared to be in Grade one or two, could have read easily.Ny zava-nisy anefa, boky misy ireny sarisary nasavoritaka ka haverina hilamina (piozila), sy irony fitadiavana ny lalan-kizorana (énigmes) irony no nirian'ity zazavavy ho azo, izay tsy nilana saina maranitra toy inona, ary mora azon'ireo zaza any amin'ny fanabeazana fototra vakiana tsara..
7The journalist in Wardam kicked in and before long he too was pleading the girl's case with her mother.Taitra ilay maha mpanao gazety tao anatin'i Wardam ary dia niditra an-tsehatra nanohana ny fangatahan'ity zazavavy ity tamin'ny reniny izy.
8I decided to intervene on behalf of the girl and invited myself into the conversation.Nanapa-kevitra ny hiditra an-tsehatra tamin'ilay resaka aho nony nahita ny fihetsik'ilay zazavavy.
9I told the mother that it was an easy magazine which I buy for my daughter and that it was possible for her daughter to read it too.Nolazaiko an'ilay reniny fa boky tsotra fividiko ho an-janako io ary azon-janany vakiana ihany koa.
10I realised that the mother seemed annoyed, while the girl was happy for this external intervention, which backed her views.Hitako ho sorena ihany ilay ramatoa, raha faly kosa ilay zazavavy noho ity fitsofohan'ny hafa nanohana ny fijeriny ity.
11The mother then added the magazine to the basket which carried the useful magazines she wanted to purchase.Dia narotsak'ilay renim-pianakaviana nanampy ireo ilainy hovidiana efa tao anaty harona ilay boky avy eo.
12She could have insulted me as my interference wasn't welcome, but I was happy to be able to help the young girl achieve her legitimate right.Mety ho nanompa ahy an'eritreritra angamba izy noho ny fitsabatsabahako, nefa kosa faly aho afaka nanampy ilay zazavavy hahatanteraka ny fangatahany izay ara-drariny loatra.
13This mother doesn't seem to realise the characteristics of what is in her hands - he daughter loves reading and is in need of encouragement.Toa tsy dia nahatsapa loatra ny pitsopitsony momba ny zavatra teny an-tanany ilay renim-pianakaviana - tia vaky boky ny zanany ary mila fandrisihana.
14Not many children have this interest and they turn their attention to television, videos and the computer for entertainment and looking up things which are not beneficial to them in most cases.Tsy maro ny zaza liana toy izany fa ny fahitalavitra, tahirin-tsary sy solosaina no misarika ny sain'izy ireny sy ataony ho fialamboly ary fitrandrahana zava-baovao izay tsy mitondra voka-tsoa ho azy ireo amin'ny ankabopeny.
15Wardam laments the state of Arab children who hate reading and tells us how he tried to teach his daughter how to love books from a young age:Mampalahelo an'i Wardam ny toerana misy ny ankizy Arabo izay mankahala vaky boky, manazava amintsika koa izy ny fomba nataony mba hitiavan-janany vavy ny boky hatrany amin'ny fahazazany:
16A lot of the children I know between the ages of five to 10 are not interested in reading at all.Ankizy maro fantatro eo amin'ny dimy ka hatramin'ny 10 taona eo no tsy tia mihitsy mamaky boky.
17These are the formative years in shaping their personalities and not reading could create problems for them at school.Taona fanomana ny maha izy azy ireo izao ary ny tsy famakiana boky dia mety hiteraka olana ho azy ireny any an-tsekoly any.
18And because I have always been known to be a bookworm, I tried to transfer this love of reading and learning to my daughter.Ary satria malaza ho mpiondana boky aho, dia niezaka mafy aho ny hampita izany fitiavana boky sy fianarana izany tamin-janako vavy.
19I read with her for half an hour everyday and I buy her magazines and children's books.Antsasak'adiny isan'andro no iarahako mamaky boky aminy, ary izaho no mividy ny gazetiboky sy ireny bokin'ankizy ireny ho azy.
20Gradually, she will have her own little library in her room and will learn how to respect books and appreciate them.Niandalana, nanana ny tahirim-bokiny azy manokana ao an'efitranony izy taty aoriana ary mianatra ny mikajy sy mankafy azy ireny.
21Children, argues Wardam, are smart in their nature and should be given due attention to use their brain cells in beneficial and creative activities.Ny ankizy, hoy Wardam, dia efa manana ny faharanitan-tsainy voajanahary ary tokony harahi-maso akaiky mba hampiasa ireo selan'ny atidohany ho amin'ny zavatra mahasoa sy ho amin'ny famoronana
22Children are especially intelligent and my daughter now uses this in her favour, as she demonstrates a surge of interest in reading at the time she should be getting ready to sleep.Tena manana faharanitan-tsaina manokana tokoa ny ankizy, ary ankehitriny ny zanako vavy dia isan'ny mampiasa izany ho amin'ny tombontsoany, na dia efa fotoana tokony hiomanany hatory aza dia mbola hita fa liana amin'ny vaky boky foana izy.
23But I have no problem in her staying up for an extra half an hour, provided this will instil in her the habit of reading.Tsy dia olana amiko loatra anefa ny antsasak'adiny mihoatra ijanonany eo, raha toa ka izay no ho solika fitaiza ny fitiavana mamaky boky ao anatiny.
24In reality, there is also a quantum leap in the type of publications available for children and which provide better knowledge than the commercial television programmes, which feed girls stories about sadness and loss of family members and boys how to beat each other up and fight.Iaraha-mahita, nivoatra be tokoa ny resaka fanontana boky ho an'ny ankizy madinika, manome azy ireo fahalalana tsara noho ny tolotra ara-barotra omen'ny fahitalavitra izay mamoky fotsiny ny zazavavy amin'ny tantara mampalahelo sy ny famoizana havana ary ny zazalahy amin'ny hoe ahoana no fomba fiady sy ny handresena ny mpifanandrina.
25I also remember how I spent more time at the children' section at the Amman Book Fair than the other sectors, and how I was impressed with the Syrian and Lebanese publications, in particular their quality printing and the important information they contained.Tsaroako koa ny fotoana betsaka niarahako tamin'ny antokon'ankizy madinika tany amin'ny Foaran'ny boky tao Amman raha oharina amin'ireo sehatra hafa, ary tena nahaliana ahy tokoa ny boky Siriana sy ny Libaney, indrindra fa ny kalitaon'ny fanontana azy sy ny lanjan'ny hevitra entiny.
26The love of reading and education, concludes Wardam, are the only means to safeguard a child's future.Ny fitiavana vaky boky sy ny fanabeazana, hoy Wardam mamehy azy, no lalan-tokana hiarovana ny hoavin'ny ankizy.
27He says:Hoy indrindra izy:
28The issue then is training a child to read in an environment at home which loves learning and respects books.Ny zava-dehibe dia ny manazatra ny ankizy hamaky boky anaty tontolo tokantrano tia mandalina sy manaja boky.
29There isn't a shortage of good books for children and if needy families find it difficult to purchase expensive books, then it is imperative for governorates, villages and areas which are less lucky than cities to have libraries and educational centres for children.Tsy lany laniana ny boky tsara ho an'ankizy ary raha misy amin'ireo fianakaviana sahirana no mahita olana amin'ny fividianana boky lafo vidy, tokony ho laharam-pahamehan'ny mpitantana ny amin'izany, ny tanana sy faritra tsy dia manam-bintana noho ny tanan-dehibe mba hanana toerana famakiam-boky sy toeram-pampianarana ho an'ny ankizy.
30This will enable youngsters to gain access to books and learn to read, especially when education remains the only weapon for the poor and middle classes in their continuous struggle to get their rights in this society.Fomba hahafahan'ireo ankizy madinika mba mahita boky hovakiana izany ary koa hianarany mamaky teny, indrindra fa raha ny fianarana no mba hany fitaovan'ny mahantra sy ny sokajy antonony amin'ny ady maharitra ataony hahazoany ny zony eo anivon'ny fiaraha-monina.
31A child who loves reading from a young age, continues on their trend for life and is able to leave space for books and magazines in his life - despite the onslaught of the Internet, television and cell phones.Ny zaza iray tia vaky boky hatramin'ny fahazazany dia hitohy hizotra amin'ny lalam-piainana nofinidiny ary afaka foana hnome toerana ho an'ny boky sy ny gazetiboky eo amin'ny fiainany - na dia manao be fiavy aza ny aterineto, fahitalavitra sy ny finday.
