Room to Read South Africa on Instagram: It's Literacy Month!
Posted by Olwethu Majaja on 04 September 2024, 19:30 SAST
It’s Literacy Month! Literacy is the ability to read, write, and make meaning out written texts. It also includes numeracy and the ability to make simple mathematical calculations.
According to UNESCO, at least 765 million adults still cannot read and write, two thirds of them women, and 250 million children are failing to acquire basic literacy skills.
We have supported Foundation Phase educators in Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal to effectively teach learners in Grades 1 and 2 how to read, write and make meaning out of written text and diagrams since 2006.
We’ve also partnered with @dbe_za, @nalibalisa, fundzalittrust, A Better Africa Foundation, and SAPESI to tackle reading challenges in South Africa as well as elevate the importance of mother tongue in learning how to read and write. Follow us to learn more.

Today's training lesson comes from Bruce Lee. Bruce was a legendary martial artist, actor, and filmmaker, known for his influential philosophy, pioneering martial arts style (Jeet Kune Do), and iconic roles in films that popularized martial arts worldwide.
"Bruce Lee's 7 fundamentals of self-improvement are a guide to mastering both mind and body. Embrace simplicity, efficiency, and directness in your training and life. Stay adaptable, keep learning, and always strive for personal growth. Let Bruce Lee's wisdom inspire your journey to excellence! #BruceLee #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth"
