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:

• 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.

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. ‼️😁

A new year reminds us that real change happens quietly — in classrooms, therapy rooms, homes, and in every moment someone takes the time to teach, guide, and believe.
At Read For Africa, we remain committed to strengthening reading skills and nurturing a lifelong love of reading. Because when a learner reads with confidence, everything changes.
Here’s to another year of inspiring, equipping, and empowering learners across Africa.
📚✨ Together, we make reading possible.
