Sakshara’s Literacy programme is designed to help a person to read and write in the languages that they can speak. The technique followed to teach adults is picture to picture, then picture to word, and then word to word recognition through flash cards. This helps them familiarise themselves with a minimum of 100 words, thereby recognising the letters of the alphabet. 

Sakshara volunteers can currently conduct literacy sessions in Hindi, Tamil, English and Kannada.

Sakshara volunteers support the teachers at the Government school in Anchepalya (Kannada Medium) by teaching English, Mathematics, Hindi and Science to children of classes 1 to 7. We hope that, with our support, children learn to enjoy their lessons, and improve their reading skills, and inculcate the habit of reading for pleasure.

Lessons will be conducted at a time suitable to each student, at the Sakshara Learning Centre in Anchepalya in Bangalore.
