What happens in the school (implementation pathway)
- School onboarding + readiness check: We confirm grade coverage, teacher roster, and the school's literacy routines and timetable.
- Teacher training on structured phonics (practical, demonstration-based): Teachers learn sound teaching, blending/segmenting routines, decoding, fluency practice, and comprehension routines appropriate to grade level.
- Eight school support visits (coaching cycle): Each visit includes classroom observation, feedback, modeling/co-teaching where needed, and a clear action plan for the next weeks.
- Progress tracking (evidence-based): Learner outcomes and reading levels are tracked to show movement from non-reader to fluent, and to inform next support steps (remedial or graduation-prep).
What the school receives (outputs)
- Teacher training sessions and lesson routines
- Classroom teaching aids and reading practice resources
- 1001 Story Project activation support (learner writing, read-aloud, and anthology preparation)
- Structured coaching visits (8) with observation notes and improvement plans
- Leadership supervision support (Headteacher/DoS) to sustain routines
- A school-level literacy action plan (next steps, responsibilities, follow-up date)
What you receive (evidence and accountability)

- Teaching Quality Evidence (aggregated lesson evaluation results)
- Learner Progress Evidence (reading level distribution and movement)
- 1001 Story participation and publishing progress evidence (where available)
- Photo documentation (where consent is available)

What you fund
- Targeted support for one school's literacy improvement cycle.
- Teachers and leaders receive structured support with measurable classroom follow-through.
- General assessment results and teacher evaluation results for the sponsored school.
- 1001 Story Project activation as part of the 2-year package to reinforce reading through structured learner writing and publishing practice.
- We assess the school for as long as you support, compare improvements per learner and per teacher, and provide a clear progress report on reading levels achieved.
Why $1,100 is high-impact
- This package goes beyond training. It funds the full cycle (2 years) that produces results.
- Train -> Coach (Intensive) -> Measure -> Improve -> Sustain
- That is how schools build confident readers and maintain progress long after the initial training.
