Khula Funda literacy project, in partnership with Nal’ibali, shows that reading is more than words. It’s about understanding, thinking critically, and connecting to the world. Let’s help every child become a thoughtful, empowered learner. #KhulaFunda #Nalibali #ReadForMeaning

Early literacy isn’t reciting ABCs or tracing letters. It’s knowing symbols & words hold meaning. Children don’t need rushing into reading - they need play, exploration & to see writing has purpose. Let them play! #FNBECD #FNBCare #WorldLiteracyDay #ReadForMeaning
