Each session commences with a song, followed by facilitators reading a story to the children, leading to a collective discussion. Subsequently, engaging activities related to letters and numbers are conducted, fostering not only academic learning but also teamwork and social interaction among the children. Towards the end of each session, facilitators assign a small activity for the children to complete at home, enhancing their manual skills. Children are encouraged to borrow stories for home reading, and healthy snacks are provided. Additionally, caregivers of these students participate in 12 Unlock Literacy sessions, with a total target of 225 caregivers.
