Wordworks is a South African non-profit organisation focusing on early language and literacy development in the first eight years of children’s lives. Since 2005, we have worked in under-
resourced communities with those adults best positioned to impact young children’s language and literacy development – parents and caregivers, family and community members, home visitors, early childhood development practitioners and Grade R to Grade 3 teachers.
We are working collaboratively to grow an informed, capable, resourced and motivated network of schools, organisations and institutions that promote the importance of, and work effectively for, the improvement of children’s early language and literacy, through their association with our programmes and materials. Wordworks offers training, resources and support for partners who wish to use our early language and literacy programmes in their own networks.
