In an effort to improve the country’s literacy initiatives the Ministry of Education recently organised a specialised training session on Scholastic Guided Reading for officers of the National Literacy Department and regional literacy coordinators. 

A release from the ministry said that the one-day workshop was hosted in the auditorium at the National Centre for Educational Resource Development and was facilitated by Majorie Solorzano of Scholastic Inc.

The training session was aimed to empower national and regional literacy leaders with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to effectively implement the Guided Reading A to D materials. By providing comprehensive training and ongoing support, the ministry said it ensures that educators feel confident utilising these materials to enhance literacy instruction in their classrooms.
