  • 3 day Rally To Read
  • Introduction
  • The Rally to Read was started in 1998 as a project which invests in the improvement of the efficiency and effectiveness of the teaching of literacy skills in rural schools throughout South Africa. The tour cost buys books housed in portable classroom libraries, and funds teacher training costs. Once at the schools, Rally participants meet and interact with the learners and teachers who benefit from the deliveries as well as the subsequent professional development which is provided for 3 years by The READ Educational Trust.
