Literacy for Life-Long Learning

Readers
Science Readers are unique storybooks based on the primary
science curriculum from P.1-P.7. They are prepared to help and encourage
pupils to develop the skill and love for reading. As they master the basics of
literacy, they acquire knowledge on how to handle day-to-day challenges. By
including local experiences, simple language, traditional tales, all within the
everyday settings, our stories intend to develop a reading culture among the
young learners.
The Readers focus on a variety of topics/themes
such as HIV and AIDS, Child Safety, Personal and Menstrual Hygiene, Malaria
Control and Prevention, Environmental Protection, and Child Protection series.
How we do it
STI develops Science Readers that are
curriculum-based, focusing on a variety of themes that address social
challenges while providing solutions to the pupils. Each series from primary
one to primary seven educates learners about the social-economic challenges,
such as malaria prevention and control, spread of HIV and AIDS, environmental
protection, child protection and safety and among others. From primary 1 to
primary 7, each reader progressively introduces concepts, vocabulary, and
sentence structures at a pace that develops confidence among children. The
readers(storybooks) are validated and approved by NCDC.
