Read For Africa

Wishing all our Phono-Graphix tutors all the best for a wonderful 3 day Buddy Reader, Art, Dance and Sport programme in Diepsloot over the next 3 days.

Have you been using Phono-Graphix for a while and are now ready to take it to the next level?

Do you ever find yourself wondering:

• Am I spending too much time revising before moving forward?
• Should I still be teaching sight word lists in isolation?
• Why do I still feel tempted or pressured to return to some of my traditional phonics habits?

You’re not alone.

Join our Advanced Phono-Graphix Workshop and discover how to make your classroom or practice truly PG rated — applying Phono-Graphix principles more effectively to maximise teachable moments and build on what learners already know.

Continue your journey from Sound → Symbol → Meaning with greater confidence and impact. Join us for our Advanced Workshop as we help you take Phono-Graphix to the next level.

Where books meet opportunity: Hot Cares steps in for Edu Fun What started with a donation of books has grown into something far greater — see how Edu Fun continues to change lives through literacy.

In celebration of World Read Aloud Day, we shared the Nal’ibali story “A New Friend,” which highlights the journey of Hope, a deaf learner, and the importance of inclusion, empathy, and kindness within our classrooms and communities. Through this initiative, we had the privilege of reading to over 200 learners at Diepsloot Combined School, Diepsloot Primary 4, and our multi-grade Homework Club. In addition to being read to, learners were also given the opportunity to read the story aloud themselves, encouraging confidence, participation, and a deeper connection to the message of inclusion. Storytelling remains a powerful tool in promoting literacy and social awareness.📚❤️

We extend our sincere gratitude to Nal'ibali for sponsoring this initiative and to Edu Fun SAfor successfully carrying it out. We also appreciate Read For Africa for being a significant part of this impactful literacy journey. ‼️😁
