FHI 360 and Save the Children invite you to a webinar in honor of International Literacy Day—A holistic approach to reading: how community engagement, social and behavior change, and remediation approaches have improved reading.
During the webinar, literacy specialists will outline how USAID-funded projects implemented by FHI 360 and Save the Children in Djibouti, Egypt, and Senegal have used a holistic approach to reading through caregiver and community engagement to improve learning outcomes. The results demonstrate the value of Reading Matters, a holistic reading framework used to promote learning improvements.
