چکیده انگلیسی


• The PRIMR Initiative aimed to improve primary literacy instruction in Kenya.
• PRIMR led to significant improvements in English and Kiswahili oral reading fluency and reading comprehension.
• Uptake was better among nonformal school teachers than formal school teachers.
• Classroom observation and instructional support was an essential element to improving instruction.

While educational participation is high in Kenya, literacy outcomes remain poor. The PRIMR Initiative aims to improve literacy learning by aligning curriculum and teacher practices with current research, providing ongoing instructional support and observation, and supplying basic instructional materials and English and Kiswahili books for students. In a randomized control trial in more than 400 schools in three counties in Kenya, the intervention improved oral reading fluency and in grade 1 formal and nonformal schools and grade 2 nonformal schools for both English and Kiswahili. The findings support the importance of in-classroom teacher support in program implementation to improve literacy outcomes.
