Literacy Programme supports the development of reading skills in young children. There are three steps in the Literacy programme:
Reading Assessments – Baseline and end line reading assessments measure children’s reading levels, evaluate their literacy learning needs, and help schools and ministries of education track student progress.
Teacher Training – Training teachers to incorporate the five core reading skills into their regularly scheduled curricula in order to ensure that children are learning to read and remain motivated to learn while in the classroom.
Community Action – Mobilising parents and communities to support children as they learn to read through fun out-of-school literacy activities and through the creation of locally relevant reading materials.
These steps address the ways children learn to read, how teachers and parents can help, and create an environment for that to happen anywhere: in school, in the community, and at home.
