A comprehensive literacy intervention program in Malaysia with the aim that one day, all children will be able to read.

Closing the Gap, SMK Bandar Baru Ampang
Volunteers and students READ together to close the literacy gap.
Why?
Fifteen minutes away from KLCC, a 14-year-old cannot read "he" or "girl". What are you going to do about it?
Literacy and numeracy are serious issues. You just read that sentence smoothly, but somewhere, a 14-year-old will stumble over every other word of that very same sentence.
Who? What? When?
We are Teach For Malaysia Fellows running a literacy and numeracy program in SMK Bandar Baru Ampang to bring these kids back on par!
To bring our kids up to par, we are having extra classes on Saturdays, from 10 am to 12 pm. Help a child to learn to read storybooks. Or if numbers are more of your game, teach a child to add and subtract.
Join us in changing the life trajectory of a child today.
How?
After diagnostics, we place our students into 3 categories according to their reading proficiency.
Level A - Pre-Kindergarten to Standard 2
Level B - Standard 3 to Standard 4
Level C - Standard 5 and above
Our level A students uses the Literacy module, focusing on phonics and sight words. Students in level B practices their reading fluency while students in level C reads a selection of Usborne storybooks to improve their comprehension skills.
