Rally to Read and Ford Motor Company Africas 26-year partnership is transforming South Africas literacy landscape. Delivering books, training, and digital tools to under-resourced schools, theyre tackling the countrys literacy crisis. With only 30% of grade one through three learners reading at grade level, and 15% of grade three students unable to decode words, their three-year program is making a difference. Principals report real gains, with young learners now grasping phonics, interpreting stories, and gaining confidence. Fords president emphasizes the urgency, with seven hundred thousand learners reached nationwide. Success stories from Rally to Read alumni prove early literacy sets kids up for life.
