#History in the making! BD embarks on a journey to build independent readers in Primary school level.

#DPE, #NCTB, #NAPE, #UN, I/NGO officials on 9 May 2023 agreed to create a national forum and, with DG DPE's initial approval, adopted a draft framework presented by us & DPE.

So crucial to identify the right theme for children’s story books. Ensuring their interest, cultural context, age appropriateness will help nurture #Independent_Readers #DPE #NCTB #Room_to_Read_Bangladesh

@Boeing invests in the education of more than 2K Primary school children in #Natore. With this support, @RoomtoRead will also scale Literacy Program – moving from 'demonstration' mode of program to taking collaborative efforts with the local government.

Study claims, it is crucial for children to be literate by grade 2. Otherwise, an inability/fear of reading drags them down for life - may even spur school dropout. @RoomtoRead_BD's Literacy Program is shaped to counter these factors. Let's invest more on literacy. #ILD2022

We’ve seen children develop academic and social-emotional skills in similar ways. Both go through steps such as basic learning, trial-error, and finally feedback towards modeled behaviors. Here's more: https://t.co/ycfDOAipMm

Schools are more than a place of learning. For some girls, school is a lifeline where they get access to meals & health services.
