Kampot START Reading Program
Project Launch:
This project will provide educational materials and support for the Kampot START Reading Program (Students & Teachers All Reading Together), a cooperative program between the Kampot Provincial Teacher Training Center (PTTC) and the Anuwat Primary School in Kampot Town. The aims of the program are to empower female PTTC trainees as leaders and to provide educational support and increase reading and reading comprehension skills among primary school students.
Project Update
The reading program was a huge success. Over 200 primary school students and 100 female teacher trainees participated, and each grade had unique activities designed to match their reading levels. The community was very supportive of this program and many loco NGOs provided input/feedback and volunteered as judges during the monthly reading competitions. Since the beginning of START, the students have been enthusiastic and energetic about their reading hour, and the teachers have seen improvements with their reading comprehension levels.
