“Layibi”

There are two things that made my day today. This first is this message below from Katie, one of the two incredible Peace Corps volunteers working with me. The second is that I taught today at the local Primary Teacher’s College and when I arrived I found a student teacher cutting up cardboard boxes to make his own set of flashcard resources. For the message below: EGRA means Early Grade Reading Assessment, it’s a reading test we are conducting in 20 government schools in Gulu. We do it at the end of each term. Today Katie was in a new control school (school we are not working with yet) with Caroline (a local teacher who is now working with us – she was a star phonics/reading teacher in her former school at Layibi P7 Primary School).
