More than 600 readers go out every year to read to more than 12,000 toddlers all over the province of Fryslân. This happens at playgroups and day-care centers, but also, for example, at childminders’ homes. All children receive a Tomke booklet to take home after reading.

Normally the reading week takes place in the first full week of June. In 2020, everything is different due to the Coronavirus and the “Foarlêswike” has been postponed until the last week of October.
