Scope of work for adaptation of Library Management Course in Telugu from Hindi About Room to Read Room to Read India was established in 2003 and presently has programs in twelve states – Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Delhi NCR, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Telangana, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh. Room to Read is a global organization transforming the lives of millions of children in low-income communities by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Founded in 2000 on the belief that World Change Starts with Educated Children®, our innovative model focuses on deep, systemic transformation within schools during two time periods that are most critical in a child’s schooling: early primary school for literacy acquisition and secondary school for girls’ education.We work in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations, and governments to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children and ensure girls can complete secondary school with the skills necessary to negotiate key life decisions. By focusing on the quality of education provided within the communities and ensuring these outcomes are measured, we have created a model that can be replicated, localized, and sustained by governments. With its global headquarters in San Francisco, Room to Read has benefited 32 million children across 21 low-income countries. About Scaling up Early Reading Initiative (SERI) Room to Read (RtR) in partnership States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been up Early Reading Intervention (SERI) project since September 2015. The project is being implemented on a scaffold approach of ‘I Do – We Do – You Do’ across states of Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Telangana. Post the launch of the National Education Policy (NEP) and NIPUN Bharat (National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy), much of SERI You Do efforts have been directed towards supporting the states in planning and implementation of NEP and NIPUN mandates. Since the NIPUN guidelines are closely aligned with the Literacy approach demonstrated under SERI, an effective implementation of NIPUN in the states would also mean institutionalization and sustainability of SERI efforts. About the Program Room to Read’s literacy program is based on scientific and yet contextually relevant principles of literacy that are time tested. This set of comprehensive principles of early literacy ensures that the magic and science of reading are well established in the lives of the benefiting children. Yet at the school/teacher level, the program designs detailed out a simple, structured lesson plan, enabling the teacher to engage with the children around activities. Through extensive field experience and scientific research, Room to Read has designed an innovative Comprehensive Literacy Approach that looks at ‘learning to read’ as a comprehensive experience immersed in which the child learns all the skills that are required to become independent and fluent readers. Hence, it aims to combine the ‘Science’ of learning to read with the ‘Magic’ of loving to read in an enabling reading environment. Comprehensive Literacy experience in Room to Read involves explicitly designed reading and writing instruction in Hindi in grades 1 and 2 and school library interventions for students in grades 1 to 5, in the same schools. This comprehensive approach to reading develops both reading skills and a habit of reading among the children, supported by provision of material, training of teachers, regular monitoring, and feedback along with community engagement. Its expected outcome for the program is – “Children reading with fluency and comprehension by end of grade 2 and developing a habit of reading by grade 5.” Details No. of modules 4 modules Languages Hindi Target group/stake holder Teachers Format Audio-Visual Average Length of the Videos 30 – 40 minutes Scope for Work and Expectations Room to Read proposes to hire a digital developer who will work closely with the Literacy Program Team and experts to create these online courses on RtR’s library management processes and principles aligned to the principles of self-learning and best practices for building a learner-friendly online course.
