We should support children to speak about what they read, in whatever form, to ensure they develop good verbal language, which in turn improves their literacy and numeracy development.
Getting Ready for School: A complete parent education program designed to support young children?s early literacy and numeracy development.
These findings, together with a review of earlier computer-assisted intervention studies, provide guidance for future work on CAI aiming to boost numeracy development of low performing children.
Targeted skills sets for mentees focussed on learning opportunities including literacy and numeracy; career development skills such as resume writing and work ethic and work experience; areas in the achievement of mentee goals such as education in the political system; and vocationally-oriented curriculum (building and construction, art, horticulture, hospitality and maritime).
It combines boxing and martial arts, personal development, numeracy and literacy, and youth support.
Two programs explicitly provided opportunities for active participation in education or training (e.g. classroom-based skill development, numeracy and literacy training, employability training, study skills and schoolwork techniques, or work experience) to improve participants' chances of securing employment.
It seeks to lay a firm foundation for every child to engage in life-long learning through the integration of learning activities in the areas of aesthetics and creative expression, environmental awareness, language and literacy, motor skills development, numeracy, and self and social awareness.
The Project offers a 24-month course on literacy, numeracy and skill development for working children in six divisional cities.
To make schools more conducive to learning, there is a strong focus on improved teaching and learning skills - including curriculum reform that encompasses issues such as HIV and AIDS awareness, life skills, literacy and numeracy, and psychosocial development - built around a framework of child-centred teaching.
Examples of these courses and workshops are 'Development of Numeracy in Early Childhood Education' (Numeracy), 'Fun Elements of Art' (Aesthetics and Creative Expression) and 'Discovery of the World through Inquiry-based Learning' (Discovery of the World).
For the past year, my organisation, Educate Girls, has been running a programme to enrol more girls in school and improve children's literacy and numeracy, backed by a development impact bond (DIB).
