Rewriting the Future

Addressing Learning Poverty for Millions of Children

We address learning poverty through research-driven FLN solutions that create impact at all levels, with a strong emphasis on building teacher capacity. Our programs focus on improving foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) outcomes for students in grades 1 to 8.

All three programs are guided by four core pillars of PARaM Prepare, Assess, Remediate and Motivate. These pillars enhance the classroom practices of teachers and foster FLN outcomes for students.

"When we began our collaboration in 2013, the mandate seemed onerous but 321 took charge by saying they will show children can learn & are learning. By designing (printing & delivering) curriculum as well as aligned in-class student resources supported by teacher training, they have done just that. They achieve their stretch goals and then begin aiming even higher!"
