Moving forward

In this section we have shown you how the Teaching early reading in Africa – with African Storybook course works and encouraged you to think about how to organise your learning. You have had the opportunity to reflect on the fact that literacy in general and reading in particular don’t only take place in school, and to consider what learning to read might be like from the perspective of a child. You have begun to think about what effective teachers of literacy need to be able to do.

In the next section, the focus is on how to create a stimulating, print-rich learning environment for your children and how to access resources to help you be an effective teacher of reading.

Now move on to Section 2, ‘Creating a language-rich learning environment’ [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] .
