Instructional materials are key to the success of
the literacy and numeracy level improvement. Following 2012 assessment of the
non-convectional innovative methods of teaching / learning training workshops
that indicated that reading and to some extent writing were areas that needed a
boost, this time round the materials bought were reading and writing related.
All the fifteen books received jolly phonics books /
notes CDs, past newspapers, Manila paper, masking tapes, pins and makers.
The teachers committed themselves to use these
materials as references but more so as guidelines to help them develop their
own phonology materials.
The CFSU program officer took some time to show the
English language teachers the best way to use the materials.
Achievements.
At least in every school there is a reference book /
notes and CDS showing the best way the teachers can tackle problems of
articulation pronunciation and spellings.
One of the project schools (Mugusu primary school)
was forced to find ways and means of getting connected to Electricity in order
to listen to the CDS.
Challenges
During purchasing it was discovered that phonology
related materials are scarce and very expensive.
The heads of schools were indeed appreciative of
this intervention for they too had realized there was need in this area but due
to the scarcity of materials and lack of sufficient funds they could not solve
the problems.
