Literacy development is foundational in our commitment to work with local communities towards creating a sustainable future. 

The EduLit programme seeks to transform community learning spaces such as libraries into active hubs for young people to develop their literacy skills, discover their creative potential as well as their leadership and critical thinking skills to effect social change in a rapidly changing world. 

Through school and community-based EduLit clubs,  we support local volunteers in Spots with essential training that equips them to provide a wide range of pupil-centered and play-based literacy activities in areas pertaining to reading, phonemic awareness, public speaking, creative writing and reporting. 

The EduLit programme is very much devoted to collaborating with volunteers to create locally-relevant resources that greatly reflect the cultural context where education is being organised. Given the impact from our community inspired resources such as the famous Kwame’s adventures and phonic packs which continue to ignite pleasure for reading, we have launched the Year of African Books campaign to promote fiction and non-fiction books authored by Africans. 

Individuals, groups, teachers, pupils and parents are welcome to join our  Monthly Literacy Challenges – EduSpots. 

Our EduLIT Club Resources – EduSpots provides resourceful and scalable practices on how to start a literacy club as well as ideas to sustain one.
