"Ready to Read" has been awarded the Wall Alumni Service Award from Grinnell College, USA.
The award will be used to:
- Design and print the Ready to Read Kit for schools. The kit includes: flashcards, picture cards, sight word cards, a graded reading library of 80 sentences, 32 paragraphs, and 32 stories, a blending flipchart, gameboards, a student activity book and a bilingual teacher's manual.
- Produce a supplementary DVD.
- Train and employ program staff.
- Support monitoring and evaluation of the program.
Within a few weeks we will be training local field staff and starting the program in 37 Eureka Learning Centers in 9 districts in Tamil Nadu. The initial reach of the program should extend to approximately 2220 students overall.
The Wall Alumni Award, in addition to AID and AIF fellowship funding will support this project through March of 2010. Please visit this blog often for project updates!
