Improving children's literacy in Ethiopia through quality education

The ability to read with understanding is the most fundamental skill a child learns and is crucial to their future success. Literacy leads to better health, more employment opportunities, and stronger societies. Without literacy, there is little chance a child will escape the intergenerational cycle of poverty.

Reading camps are one component of an innovative, evidence-based literacy programme World Vision is helping the communities in Angolela Tera Woreda implement in order to support their children’s learning. The literacy programme also includes reading assessments to ensure that children’s literacy skills are being measured and tracked, as well as teacher training to help build child-focused classrooms and foster interactive teaching methods. http://www.childhoodexplorer.org/literacyculture
