facilitated Workshops 6 and 7 of the Stellar Home Language programme in the Northern Cape as part of the NCDOE & Wordworks Grade R Home Language Project.

Teachers worked through small group literacy activities using puzzles, card games, and story based learning materials, experiencing the activities as learners would in the classroom.

The sessions created space for teachers to observe how structured play supports participation, focus, sound recognition, and early literacy development in a practical and engaging way.

Learner drawing activities from the Wordworks’ Teacher Akinyi storybook also reflected how children are responding to and engaging with the materials in meaningful ways.

Across both workshops, teachers continued building confidence in using Stellar Home Language materials to support guided learning in their classrooms.
