These Kids Can Read!: The Pratham Model

There are two essential ingredients in the Pratham model—grouping students by ability level rather than grade level, and using volunteers from the community to support camp activities. Photo credit: Rina Dhalla.

These Kids Can Read!: Building Critical Thinking Skills

In the Beed district of Maharashtra, a student presents her own story based on the words written on the board. Children have the opportunity to use their creativity and imagination—building critical thinking skills. Photo credit: Christine Beggs.

These Kids Can Read!: Peer-Learning

Students are divided into small groups, with local volunteers assigned to each group. Each group elects a spokesperson to present their group’s version of the story. Groups face off against each other, asking questions about their classmates’ stories. Photo credit: Rina Dhalla.

These Kids Can Read!: Mind Mapping

In another exercise called “mind mapping,” the cluster resource leader writes a word from the story in the middle of a circle. Each child builds associations from this one word. Photo credit: Rina Dhalla.

These Kids Can Read!: Annual Status of Education Report Assessment

To ensure each child is learning to their full potential, Pratham expanded the Annual Status of Education Report assessment to include factual and inference-based questions. Photo credit: Fabiola Lopez-Minatchy.
