At Naboisho Action Network, we implement the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach as an accelerated learning program in four public primary schools: Meto Primary, Loltiamiloi Primary, Empukani Primary, and Ilmolelian Primary.

The program targets learners in Grades 2, 3, and 4 who are struggling with foundational literacy and numeracy. Instead of following the standard grade-based curriculum, we assess each child’s actual learning level and group them into four levels: Beginner (Letter), Word, Paragraph, and Story.

TaRL sessions run for one hour every day after regular school hours, focusing on interactive, level-based learning activities that help children catch up and gain confidence in reading and basic math.

Key features of our TaRL program include:

Teacher training: Classroom teachers receive practical training to improve their delivery of the TaRL content and methodology.

Head teacher involvement: School heads are trained to support ongoing monitoring and sustainability of the program within their schools.

Instructional materials: We supply each school with level-specific teaching and learning materials to support effective implementation.

School integration: Many partner schools have introduced additional daily reading lessons to complement TaRL and further strengthen learners’ literacy skills.

Through this model, we are helping to bridge learning gaps, especially in marginalized and low-performing classrooms, and ensuring more children have the skills they need to thrive in school.

Shirikisha Jamii is a structured parental engagement program supported by GRiC (Grassroots Nest for Innovation and Change), our key funding partner. The program strengthens the role of parents and caregivers in improving learning outcomes through dialogue, self-awareness, and collaborative school-community engagement.

It is delivered through three core modules:

Module 1: Self-Awareness and Understanding the Child

• Helping parents understand their own parenting approaches
• Understanding the child’s behavior, emotions, and learning needs
• Identifying barriers that hinder effective parental involvement
• Supporting learning at home using practical, everyday strategies

Module 2: Using Community and Modern Tools for Learning

• Tapping into local community strengths to support education
• Promoting basic digital literacy for parents and caregivers
• Enhancing financial literacy to improve household support for learning

Module 3: Strengthening Stakeholder Collaboration

• Encouraging joint efforts between parents and teachers
• Building community support for parental involvement
• Equipping school leaders with tools for effective engagement with families

This program helps reposition parents as active participants in their children’s learning, improving both school performance and child wellbeing.
