Innovations in Literacy: We utilize interactive and multi-media storytelling to improve literacy. Programs utilize interactive technology and solar powered devices to make reading accessible for children from all backgrounds and of all learning abilities. Technology allows for books to be accessible on desktop, laptop, smart or feature mobile phone and tablet. The multi-media design is scaffolded to fit any curriculum, in any language and enables customized learning. The below shows options for a child to read at his/her own pace.
Results in Reading Improvement: Our work has resulted in a 90% increase in reading improvement and has increased capacity of teachers to deliver learning. We measure and assess using numerous indicators, including the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA).
In October 2015, the Library of Congress recognized our global coalition member Picsterbookswith an Award in Literacy Innovation for improving reading skills for the hard of hearing and deaf in South Africa.
Mish Madrasa, our partner school in Egypt, serves children in vulnerable and non-permissive environments. We create positive youth development through our interactive programs, trust and community-based approaches. in the past three years, our programs have increased positive identity, improved bonds with community members; increased opportunities for prosocial involvement, reduced rates of psychological distress, interpersonal violence, and gender-based violence; and increased feeling of psychological safety.
