Happy Mother's Day from all of us at REACH HK 💚🌸
To every mum who has ever sat beside their child, pointed at a picture, and said — "What's that?" — this one is for you. 🥹🫶
We just published our latest research, and one finding stopped us in our tracks:
The single strongest predictor of a young child's English progress isn't how many worksheets they complete. It's how involved their caregiver is at home. 📚❤️
And here's what moved us most — the parents in our study came from communities where English was near-absent. But when they showed up, sat with their child, watched, listened, and engaged?
Their children still made meaningful progress. 🌟
It wasn't about knowing the right answers.
It was about being there.
What mattered was not proficiency. It was presence. 💛
On Mother's Day, we want to celebrate every mum, grandmother, and guardian who shows up — even when it's hard, even when they're not sure how to help. You matter more than you know. 🙏🌸
And to our supporters — none of this would have been possible without you. 🤝 The weekly videos, the home learning booklets, the parent workshops — the very tools that gave these mothers the confidence to sit beside their children and engage — exist because you believed in this work. Every mother in our programme who showed up did so, in part, because you made it possible for her to know how. 💚
Thank you for being part of this. 🙏✨
