Primary reading tutoring in Kenya

Teach foundational reading through level-matched decoding, vocabulary and comprehension practice.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional reading lesson READ-121 is one 45-minute guardian-authorised session on short'a'word decoding and literal comprehension. Original passage:'Sam has a bag. A cat sat on the mat. Sam ran to the mat. The cat ran past Sam.' Questions:'Who has a bag?'(Sam)and'Where did the cat sit?'(on the mat). Output is a private skill note and two-word home practice, not a diagnosis or guaranteed reading-age gain.
