TIME was developed by leading NGOs and will reach families through collaborative NGO and government partnerships.

TIME builds foundational language, mathematics and life skills.

TIME resource packs will be available for each term for Grade R and Grade 1.

 TIME is currently available in Afrikaans, English and isiXhosa.  We plan to have materials in isiZulu by Term Two.

This is just a matter of budget. We are very keen to make high quality versions of TIME in all SA languages.  Please be in touch if you can assist or fund the necessary translation and production involved.

The good news is that parents, caregivers and older siblings can play an important role in supporting children’s early learning.   TIME offers a simple set of ‘mini-lessons’ for parents to do at home with their children. The materials will guide parents to spend a structured 20 – 30  minutes with their child, following clear steps every day.

Grade R and Grade 1 children continue to miss far too much essential teaching time.  We are concerned that these young ones are particularly at risk since this is when they would have been taking their first steps as readers and writers.
