Happy smiles: Children from PPR Seri Alam reading storybooks at the official launch of Projek BacaBaca in June last year.
TO help primary school pupils improve their reading and learning skills, Projek BacaBaca is recruiting volunteers for its third phase, which is set to commence during the middle of next month. Since 2021, the School of Education at Taylor’s University has been championing the initiative that pairs volunteers, referred to as “reading coaches”, with primary school pupils from B40 and underserved communities to improve their reading.
Aimed at tackling learning poverty among pupils aged six to nine, the project has made a positive impact on the lives of 150 children nationwide since its inception.
