Malawi Early Literacy Team

Malawi Early Literacy Team It is MELT's mission to equip the children in the Northern Region of Malawi, Africa with up to date, M.E.L.T. was officially established in December of 2015.

is comprised of a group of education and business professionals with a passion for young children and the doors that can be opened for those children through literacy. It is our mission to equip the children in the Northern Region of Malawi, Africa with up to date, culturally appropriate early literacy materials and readers. The readers we publish are about Malawi village daily life, science and c

ulture, and basic health concepts. We will continue teacher training in the twenty schools that we serve so the teachers can maximize the results when using these materials. HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Between 2012 and 2014, three short term literacy trips in Northern Malawi focused on training primary teachers to teach early reading. Although the Malawian teachers were grateful and enthusiastic learners, the trainers were dismayed by the severe lack of curriculum materials and early reading books. THE NEXT STEP
A three-person team (Margot McGorman, Mike Miller, Heather White) traveled to Malawi in April 2015 to meet with government education officials and Malawian teachers who had participated in the training program. This visit confirmed the ongoing need for early literacy readers, teacher training, and supplemental classroom literacy materials. NOW: M.E.L.T. We continue these early literacy efforts in Malawi. is undertaking a literacy project in the Northern Region of Malawi which has and continues to:

• Develop and publish K-2 early literacy readers (a 30 - 40 title library - we're halfway there!).
• In 2017 we purchase a Land Cruiser for use as a bookmobile.
• In 2018 we provided an alphabet fluency kit for each teacher in our program.
• We hold a yearly, multi-day teacher training seminar in early reading practices for the 40 teachers in the MELT program.

MELT Moment- This morning we leave Mzuzu and the library. Wrapping up trip #16 for me. Have I done enough? Too much? Too little? We have the utmost respect for the teachers, their abilities , their challenges. We just need more time together. Time is a funny thing you think you have enough time until it’s time to go and there’s so much more you want to do. My thanks to the teachers we wish you all the best,”Good bye for now but not forever” until we meet again. ❤️📚🇲🇼www.MELT.africa

MELT Moment- Water and electricity has been spotty for a couple days- the road (path) to Kaligoma School was basically destroyed last rainy season- wasn’t sure we would make it? But looking through the classroom door out over the hills I see stunning beauty. Days in Malawi can be very challenging but I can always find beauty. www.MELT.africa
