February 2016 Bit by Bit - School
Development
Many schools
in Zambia are improving their literacy rates through THRASS, “teaching
handwriting, reading and spelling skills”. Thanks to our friend, Doug in
Victoria some ZMF-C sponsored teachers had some basic instruction in it a few
years ago and now Ruhtt Mbumwae is inspired to push on and promote this
excellent teaching method!
Look out
teachers!
The 3
community schools that ZMF-C have been involved with rank among the highest
academically of all the schools in the district related to a number of
motivation strategies mostly introduced by Mrs. Ruhtt Mbumwae. But….that doesn’t
mean the standard is high – there are many kids who do not read well or who
have basic comprehension.
THRASS will
not be underused anymore!
We took
ZMF-C sponsored teachers on a tour of 2 Choma schools using THRASS. WOW,
amazing. Listening to the children,
watching the teachers and administration in action was inspirational!
