Actions accomplished
- We continue with our complementary educational program in reading comprehension, literacy, and critical thinking at 8 rural schools in Ancash Peru.
- In October we started a new interactive reading platform, Raz Kids. This platform offers up to 400 level books to the kids and allows us to evaluate the reading progress of each one of the end-users.
- From October to December our children read over 6000 books on the Raz Kids platform.
- The average reading program attendance rate of our students was 77% in 2022.
- In the literacy program 38% of the students managed to meet the set course objectives.
- In the comprehensive reading program 15% of the students managed to improve on their initial reading level. NOTE: Its important to mention that after two years of pandemic restrictions almost all students represent severe setbacks in their reading abilities development.
- In just two months (October – December 2022) of starting with the new reading platform and in-house developed reading training, overall 23% of the 270 students in total were able to improve their reading levels. We consider this a good result, considering the short amount of time and look forward on provinding you with further uplifting news in 2023.
- In the last months of 2022, in two of the eight rural schools Misión Huascarán organized a reading reinforcement program for the high school students, +50% of the participants managed accomplish the set objectives.
