Yesterday, the DO MORE FOUNDATION hosted over 70 employee’s children from RCL FOODS and CHEP at our National Office in Westville for the #DoMorePlay kids event. This team of little helpers dedicated their Tuesday morning to making playdough for the #DoMorePlay toy kits destined for the community of Hammarsdale and selling cookies to help raise funds for the ECD practitioner training that needs to accompany the play kits in January 2020. What a wonderful way to end off a magical year of #DoingMore. Thank you to all of the kids and parents who helped us #DoMorePlay this holiday season.

Research shows that children who have been read to 3 to 5 times a day from birth will have heard about 1.4 million more words than children who have not been read to. This ‘million word gap’ could well explain why some children have much better language skills and cope so much more easily with literacy, numeracy, learning to read and write and do so much better in school. Help us fill this “gap” by supporting the #DoMorePlay campaign >>https://domore.org.za/2019/10/31/join-the-domoreplay-campaign-this-december/

South Africa performs really badly in international literacy tests, coming last out of 50 countries. The 2016 test results show that 78% of South Africa’s Grade 4 children cannot read for meaning in any language. This has a devastating impact on their ability to learn and do well in school and in life. Children first learn to read and then read to learn.
