The Lese-Kicker starts for the fifth time! The Lese-Kicker is awarded to the most appealing children’s and youth book in terms of idea, linguistic implementation and graphic design that best succeeds in inspiring people to read about soccer. Soccer is not only the favorite sport of most children, but also motivates many boys in particular to read a book.
Reading opens doors – that’s why good books are the basis for promoting reading skills.
With playful learning material, the excitement of determining the winner and great prizes, the Lese-Kicker 2022 once again offers a varied project for publishers and authors, school classes and teachers.
Who will win the prize for the best children’s soccer book and the best youth soccer book?
Which classes will win a stadium reading in their area or participation in the award ceremony at the German Football Museum in Dortmund?
This is decided by the jury consisting of:
- Ridle Baku, professional footballer and ambassador for “Fußball trifft Kultur”
- Nia Künzer, soccer world champion
- Tim Gailus, TV presenter “Timster”
