Reading is the foundation of all learning, so if children can’t read with understanding, they will struggle throughout their schooling and be less likely to pursue tertiary education, greatly increasing their risk of being trapped in poverty and unemployment.

The Vula Bula graded readers in South Africa (SA), published by the Molteno Institute for Language and Literacy, are effective in teaching children to learn to read proficiently in African languages.

Available for learners in Grades 1 to 3, these readers offer a range of entertaining stories for children in isiXhosa, isiZulu, isiNdebele, Sesotho, Sepedi, Setswana, Siswati, Xitsonga and Tshivenda.

We spoke to Jenny Katz, the Research and Development Manager of the Molteno Institute for Language and Literacy about how these readers improve children's reading.
