High-quality, culturally relevant, and diverse books in local languages are critical for improving literacy outcomes around the world. Yet, developing such content remains a complex challenge, particularly in low-resource contexts.
Literacy is a gateway to learning, but only when children have access to books they can understand and relate to.
Join the GBA and Early Learning Resource Network (ELRN) for a webinar, Developing Books that Children Want to Read, on July 15 at 10:00am ET. This webinar is part of an ongoing conversation on how to strengthen book ecosystems in underserved communities, strengthen local capacity, and ensure every child has the opportunity to read in the language they understand. The speakers will explore how publishers, literacy experts, and education stakeholders are navigating challenges, with a focus on content development in the African context. The webinar will feature real-world perspectives from the publishing sector, drawing on examples of successful collaboration, content testing, and practical frameworks that support inclusive book development.
