In addition, we conducted library training for schools and our local partner. We also built the capacity of local authors and illustrators to create quality low-cost children’s titles in- country and published 13 original children’s titles. Through this partnership, we impacted an estimated 11,000 students and thousands more will benefit in the future as new generations of students enter the school system.
Improving literacy skills and fostering a habit of reading for the nation’s children

The project impacted all 57 of Grenada's government primary schools by improving the country's Grade 1 literacy curriculum.
