Speaking at the event, Salomey Kwabea Agyei, Founder of the Readspell Literacy Foundation, emphasized the organization’s mission to make reading easy and accessible for every Ghanaian child. “Our vision is to ensure that every learner can read fluently with understanding, regardless of their background or location,” she said.
Since its inception, the Foundation has trained over 1,000 teachers and club coordinators across several districts in the Bono Region—including Dormaa Central, Berekum East, Sunyani West, and Techiman South—and has established literacy clubs in more than 500 basic schools, benefiting over 21,000 pupils. Thousands of phonics books, flashcards, and instructional materials have been distributed to schools to support reading improvement.

According to the circuit supervisor, the training marks a significant step toward improving reading fluency and comprehension among early-grade pupils in the area. He lauded the Readspell Foundation and its partners for their continued investment in education at the grassroots level.
