At the Primary School level, we recognised a need for fluency in reading and writing in the parent language. A child’s competency in Kannada is believed to have a positive impact on the study of other subjects.
The Learning Improvement Programme (LIP) is delivered to students who have been identified from Grade 3 to 5 as having difficulties in reading and writing Kannada language. The classes serve as two-hour long remedials taken by animators for students with weaker grades and language-specific learning difficulties. Many of the activities conducted in the classes are practical in nature, involving activity cards, blackboards, seeds, beads, stationary and more. Reading material and workbooks are also distributed to facilitate the programme.
As an extension of the programme, Children’s Clubs have been set up in 40 schools. These clubs encourage extracurricular activities, inculcate important values while also identifying and nurturing special talents and skills.
Parents are an active part of this programme and parent meetings as well as home visits are scheduled by animators to track the progress of students.
As of today,
13,611 children
have improved in Kannada language with the help of 125 animators.
The impact and transformation that we have created breathe through the community of Yadgir. We continue to learn from them and use their experiences to create a more personalised approach.
