Unless children have been given sufficient opportunity to ‘learn to read’, they cannot subsequently ‘read to learn’. KET’s literacy and numeracy programmes give children the fundamental tools for lifelong learning and progress.
Studies have shown that the best way to learn English is by being proficient in one’s home language. The FONIX literacy programme focuses on entrenching the crucial foundations of emerging mother-tongue literacy in young children, using phonetic principles of language development.
By implementing the programme at the right age, using the right equipment in the right manner, children are given the exciting opportunity to grasp literacy in a fun, engaging, and lasting way.
Literacy in South African preschools is beset with challenges around the number of languages, limited resources and at-home support. These challenges are exacerbated in poor households. KET’s FONIX programme gives children a critical foundation to reading for meaning and language development.
The FONIX programme can be used to teach all 11 official languages.
This fun and structured classroom programme uses a multi-sensory approach to help children explore 26 essential mathematical concepts. Each practical activity is carefully designed to strengthen not only numeracy, but also perceptual, fine-motor, and language development through sensory learning.
Tailored to each child’s individual pace, the programme builds a strong foundation for mathematical understanding.
Based on Oxford University Press’s powerful NUMICON programme, NUMBA has been developed, piloted, and refined in our own Knysna preschools since 2012.
A 2019 survey showed children’s numeracy concepts improved by 37% when using the NUMBA mathematics programme.
