August 2017 — The USAID Ghana Partnership for Education: Learning activity developed a phonics-based reading program that will provide evidence-based tools and strategies for improving reading performance in 100 districts in Ghana, reaching approximately 1.1 million primary students. This brochure provides an overview of Learning’s approach, which includes teacher professional development models, methods for scaling up, a model for primary mathematics, a rigorous monitoring and support system and a learning-by-doing approach to capacity development. The brochure also highlights strong results from a prototype of the program conducted in the Dagbani language.
