Your donations have been used to support our Early Inspirations Program in this quarter. Early Inspirations focusses on children aged 5 to 10 years old with the aim of building a solid educational foundation both physically and mentally. The program is made up of two main projects - Read to Lead and Learn to Move. Below is a brief summary of the program results over the past 12 months.
Read To Lead
Read To Lead has provided high-quality literacy support to the participants in the project this year. Our literacy coaches provide one-on-one literacy coaching for the first 3 years (age 5 - 10) of the children's schooling life. The programme helps to remove literacy as a barrier to a child’s education, equipping them with the tools they need to successfully progress through school. The foundation of reading, writing and comprehension unlocks their ability to learn and has a positive impact on them for the rest of their lives.
Prior to joining Read to Lead, our participants have limited reading abilities, making it difficult for them to fully engage in learning. Throughout the participants’ involvement in the project, their literacy skills markedly improve. We take great pride in employing Literacy Coaches directly from the communities in which they work, making the benefits of this programme two-fold.
Learn to Move
We are in the third year of our Learn to Move project at three partner primary schools. We focus on teaching gross motor and fine motor skills to teach coordination and encourage an active lifestyle. Gross motor skills also help participants with their cognitive function, allowing them to improve their learning on their pathway to success. The Learn to Move sessions are fun and interactive, providing games that teach valuable gross motor skills while our participants interact positively with each other.
Thank you for your on-going support and helping us to transform lives through sport
