METHODOLOGY
Pratham’s highly successful L2 R (Learning to Read) adaption enabling faster learning and absorption amongst the pupils.

|
|
The overall impact of the program on the arithmetic status of the girls in the RBC is clearly visible Where non of the girls are able to do the 2 digit divisions which is the class 3 standard but after the first 3 months in the RBC over 15 percent of the girls are able to do the divisions and about 30% change in the additions and those are never enrolled in the formal schools 76.4% are able to count the numbers up to 100
|
Impact of the Program
|
|
The impact on the reading of language is also very high on the children the number of the non readers reduced in three months from 47% to 2.8 % and the number of the word readers increased from 5.5% to 38%. Once they are able to read it easy to give them the education according to their age and that is more important in mainstreaming them in the regular schools.
