Literacy Consultant for Reading Pilot Program, Vietnam
Organization Profile:
Room to Read is a non-government organization working to transform the lives of millions of children in developing countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Working in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments, we develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary school with the relevant life skills to succeed in school and beyond. Our long-term goal is to help 10 million children to gain the lifelong gift of education.
We currently work in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Zambia - countries with a desperate lack of resources to educate their children. Since our inception, Room to Read's worldwide team has impacted over 5 million children by constructing more than 1,400 schools, establishing over 10,700 libraries, publishing 521 new children's book titles in 11 local languages, and putting over 10,400 girls onto long-term, holistic scholarships.
Room to Read has an annual budget of approximately US$30 million and our global staff numbers over 350. Our global headquarters is located in San Francisco, and we have smaller fundraising offices in New York, Hong Kong, London, Tokyo and Delhi. We have an Asia Regional Office located in New Delhi, a Southern Africa Regional Office in Pretoria, and program offices in Colombo, Dhaka, Ho Chi Minh City, Kathmandu, Lusaka, New Delhi, Pretoria, Phnom Penh, and Vientiane.
Room to Read’s Literacy Strategy
Literacy is part of the right to a basic education and is crucial for economic, social and political participation and development. In order for children to acquire literacy skills to become lifelong readers and learners, one crucial input is regular access to books and other reading materials, which are scarce in many of the communities where Room to Read operates. Since our inception, we have witnessed that children often do not have the grade-appropriate literacy skills needed to take full advantage of the Reading Room and Local Language Publishing resources. To achieve the long term goal of helping all children become independent readers at the primary level, Room to Read has initiated pilot programs for reading instruction and reading skills enrichment in primary schools. The pilots focus on providing teachers with language teaching and learning methodologies through training workshops and supplemental teaching and learning materials/aids to support existing national language learning instruction in the schools where we work. Our learning from the pilots will help us develop a strategy that both capitalizes on our organizational strengths built over the last decade and defines a clear and carefully constructed path to the goal of increased literacy and a habit of reading in the children with whom we work.
In Vietnam, Room to Read has completed in-depth research on the teaching and learning of the Vietnamese language in primary schools, including a student reading assessment, analysis of textbooks/curriculum, classroom observations, and teachers’ interviews. The development of pilot program which will include material/resources and an in-service training program will now be carried out to support teachers and children with the teaching and learning of reading in the Vietnamese language. This work will be followed by the launch of a pilot program in selected primary schools and ultimately the rollout of a literacy strategy in the years to come.
