Over four Masterclasses, Foundation Phase teachers in Makhanda shared something invaluable: their honest reflections on what it takes to teach a child to read.
As we read through their feedback, we are reminded that the reading crisis is not an abstract statistic. 🧵

We are still reflecting on everything we heard, and we look forward to sharing more as we do. Thank you to every teacher who shared a part of their story with us. We are listening, and we are learning.

This week, the Right to Read Campaign concluded its Masterclass series in Makhanda. Foundation Phase teachers joined us after full days in the classroom, bringing their experience and insight to every session.
Thank you to @Rhodes_Uni & @Lebone_Centre for hosting, respectively🧵
We look forward to sharing the feedback we received and to learning from it as this work moves forward.
Together, we are working towards a future in which every child in South Africa can read for meaning, and changing how the story ends.

The Right to Read Campaign is calling for binding regulations for reading in Grades R to 3, covering Text, Time, Teaching and Testing, so that every school starts from the same baseline. These regulations must be shaped by the people who teach children to read every day.
That is why we consult teachers. They are the masters, and what they shared this week will feed directly into the regulations.
Thank you to every teacher who took part, and to GADRA Education and @funda_wande for hosting with us.
