To read well, students need the opportunity to read regularly from a variety of text types and be provided with books and materials that are grade level appropriate and rich with relevant content. Currently, South Sudanese children do not have access to such books at home or at school. With these considerations in mind, the Room to Learn (RtL) South Sudan project has developed the Pocket Library Kit for distribution across RtL communities.
The Pocket Library is made from waterproofed cotton cloth and is fitted to hang on the classroom wall. A careful selection of fiction and nonfiction supplementary readers are included in its nine pockets, given along with book shelves, a storage cupboard, individual chalkboards and chalk for students and teachers as part of the Kit. These materials will be used for read-aloud activities as well as group and independent reading. It hoped, that the provision of Pocket Library Kits will motivate students to read, enhance their literacy skills, and increase their reading outcomes.
Your ongoing support is critical in helping RtL improve student access to reading materials in schools and learning centers across all of South Sudan.
