Problem
Unusual School identified a significant literacy gap among children in remote areas of Lagos, where access to quality education is severely limited. The goal was to bridge this gap by enhancing the reading and writing skills of children from underprivileged backgrounds, ensuring they have the foundational literacy necessary for future academic success.
Approach
To address this challenge, we developed and delivered a tailored Jolly Phonics training programme. This training utilised a play-based approach, making learning engaging and accessible for young children. The programme was designed to equip the children with the necessary skills needed to improve literacy rates among the target population.
Key Features of the Program
- Consultation: We conducted an in-depth consultation with Unusual School to understand the specific needs and expectations for the literacy intervention, ensuring alignment with the school's goals and the local context.
- Programme Design: Custom training slides and interactive activities were designed to meet the unique needs of the students in these remote areas. The materials were crafted to be both informative and engaging, fostering a positive learning environment.
- Delivery: The bespoke training package was delivered to the children, focusing on practical application through hands-on activities and real-world examples.
- Recognition: Following the success of the training, the organisers acknowledged our commitment and professional delivery.
Result
The programme successfully raised awareness and provided essential skills to the children in those underprivileged regions, enabling them to start their reading and writing journey. Generally, the children began to experience significant improvements in their literacy, setting a strong foundation for their future educational journeys.
