In partnership with other organisations the charity\nprovides curriculum, books and other materials and teacher training to teachers\nat pre-school and early primary levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One current focus of the work has\nbeen a partnership equipping teachers from fourteen government-run primary\nschools in North Lombok, in an area that was badly affected by the major\nearthquake in August of 2018. Early test results show improvement, and the team\nis encouraged by stories from teachers and parents about how children are\nmaking progress and enjoying learning to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One such child is Bima, a child in\nhis second year at school who has learning difficulties. His teacher reports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the past, Bima has been\ndisruptive in class and learned little. Now he enjoys the reading program. He\nfinds the lessons interesting because they include songs, actions and other\nactivities. He also loves listening to the stories and looking at the\nattractive pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bima\u2019s teaching has seen a big\nchange in his attitude to reading: he now listens well and is more involved in\nclass. Early tests show that he is now able to identify the letters that he has\nlearnt, whereas in the past he couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reading is the foundation of a good\neducation, and SEEDS and Saya Suka Membaca believe that everyone should have a\nchance to learn. We\u2019re delighted to be able to make a difference to Bima and\nhis teachers, and will continue to work hard to serve more children and\nteachers from across Indonesia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEEDS partner charity Saya Suka Membaca (\u2018I Love Reading\u2019) works to improve opportunities for children across Indonesia to learn to read.
