The United States Agency for International Development and the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council have introduces the new Igbo and Yoruba early grade reading materials entitled: Ka Anyi go! and Je Ká kawe!.
These resources expand the availability of quality local language teaching and learning materials for reading in Nigeria, targeting all Igbo and Yoruba speaking primary grade 1 to 3 learners in the southern regions.
“Teaching children to read in a language they understand equips them with a powerful tool for lifelong learning,” said USAID Mission Director Anne Patterson during a virtual launch last weekend.
