Day 5 with JSS2 was all about reading like a detective. ๐Ÿ”

We practised:
โ†’ Finding clues in the text
โ†’ Matching emotions to characters
โ†’ Pausing at punctuation: because every full stop, comma, and exclamation mark tells a story.

We modelled it first, and then they mirrored it back with confidence.
Itโ€™s not just reading.

Itโ€™s thinking, feeling, and responding: one sentence at a time. ๐Ÿ’™
Proud of their focus and their voices! ๐ŸŒŸ

Day 4: Spelling Bee = Pure fun! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“š

Yesterday, our JSS1 learners turned tricky words into a game: breaking them down with phonics, sounding out loud, and owning every syllable.

What couldโ€™ve been stressful? Became laughter, claps, and โ€œI got this!โ€ moments.

When learning feels like play: you know itโ€™s working. ๐Ÿ’™

Proud of every bold speller. ๐ŸŒŸ

Day 3
Building the basics strong! ๐Ÿ’ช

Our JSS1 class focused on phoneme-grapheme connections: matching sounds to letters with clear examples.

From /b/ to /sh/, the students practiced, repeated, and responded with growing confidence.
Small steps, big progress.

Proud of their focus and energy!
Onward to Day 4. ๐Ÿ’™

Day 2: Success! ๐ŸŽ‰

Our JSS2 students took charge reading ๐˜‹๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ ๐˜Š๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ข ๐˜ฃ๐˜บ ๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ค๐˜ข ๐˜š๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ with confidence and expression. ๐Ÿ’ฌ

They didnโ€™t just read. They thought:
๐Ÿ”น Who were the โ€œgoodiesโ€?
๐Ÿ”น Who were the โ€œbaddiesโ€?
๐Ÿ”น And why do some kids act that way?

It was more than reading; it was empathy in action.
Proud of our young leaders. ๐ŸŒฑ

Canโ€™t wait for Day 3.

We read the storybook โ€œHarryโ€™s Monkeyโ€ by Robina Beckles Willson.

There was a powerful โ€œAha momentโ€ when the students collectively agreed that having a monkey as a pet is definitely a โ€œno-noโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚. Their understanding and participation were impressive.

Special mention to Emmanuel, who has cerebral palsy. With gentle guidance, he bravely read two full paragraphs today. We are so proud of his courage and effort! ๐Ÿ‘

Moments like this remind us why we do this work.
Keep shining, JSS1! ๐Ÿ’ช

Today, we join the world in observing the International Day Against Bullying and Cyberbullying.

At Beacon Literacy Advancement Network, we believe every child deserves a safe, supportive environment to learn and grow. Through literacy, we help learners build confidence, find their voice, and thrive.
