The Three Principles of READ

Books And Training Always Go Together: South African teachers did not grow up with books so they have little experience in using books in the classroom. Training must accompany book provision to ensure that materials are correctly used. Training alone is not enough as most South African classrooms are under-resourced. The Right Book, At the Right Level, At the Right T

ime: Rigorous and careful book selection from local and international publishers is essential. Children can only be motivated to read if the books they have access to are relevant to their environment and appropriate to their reading level. Variety Encourages Reading: Exposure to a variety of texts and genres is critical to ensure that children are able to read for both pleasure and study purposes.

Our Primary School Literacy Programme successfully supported 737 learners and 18 educators across three Vryburg primary schools, helping bridge reading gaps caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. With the support of 8 dedicated reading assistants, learners showed remarkable improvement in reading at grade level.

A Certification Ceremony was held to celebrate the commitment and hard work of the reading assistants, who received certificates of excellence and SACE-accredited certificates for their professional growth.

Together with the Department of Education and Read Education Trust, we are strengthening the foundation of learning for future generations.
