📍 GEEAP | Islamabad 📚 A key highlight of the Literacy Report launch was a panel on applying the Science of Reading in Pakistan’s context—grounded in government priorities, local evidence, language, and real implementation challenges Full report: geeap.org/resources/

Key themes emerged: 🔹 Teaching in languages children understand 🔹 Strengthening teacher professional development & classroom support 🔹 Aligning curriculum & assessments to prioritize reading The message: literacy for every child - guided by evidence, led by teachers.

📊 Speakers highlighted the scale of Pakistan’s reading crisis: over 70% of children struggle to read and understand a simple text by age 10. Discussions stressed moving from unstructured approaches to explicit, systematic, evidence-based reading instruction.

On Tuesday in Islamabad, 50 leaders from government, academia, research institutions, development partners, INGOs, and multilateral organizations met to discuss evidence-based reform & coordinated national efforts to strengthen early reading outcomes for children in Pakistan. 📚

📘 What Works to Teach Reading – A focused deep dive in Islamabad explored the @geeap.bsky.social-endorsed Literacy Paper, linking global evidence to classroom practice in Pakistan. Speakers highlighted policy alignment, local challenges, and the importance of explicit reading instruction #GEEAP
