Improving student learning and community opportunity through mother tongue based multilingual education

LEAD Asia Honors Mothers by Highlighting Women's Efforts in Literacy

May 11, 2012 - 3:21pm

 

This weekend LEAD is honored to recognize Mother's Day by highlighting women and mothers in our midst that demonstrate the true meaning of strength. No one leads by example more than a mother.  She is a teacher to her children from the moment they are born, introducing them to the ways of the world, protecting and providing for their needs.  Through a mother's care, a child learns wholeness.  Our female partners and community members are constantly working to foster positive change, setting an example for their language communities and larger society.  This weekend LEAD honors the women and mothers that are striving along with us to develop solutions that can enhance the lives of language communities worldwide.  It is their strength that pushes us onward.

Early grade literacy in African classrooms: Lessons learned and future directions

This transnational thematic study of early-grade literacy brings together current research findings and program outcomes in the area of early-grade literacy in African nations, to highlight lessons learned and suggest possible future direction for improving early-grade achievement in reading and writing.
 
This study represents some of the best current research on literacy in early primary grades in Africa, carried out by four non-government organizations that focus on literacy learning: Save the Children, RTI International, PRAESA and SIL International.
