The ability to read is a fundamental right, yet many young Filipino children struggle to grasp this essential skill. At Binhi English Literacy Foundation, Inc. (BINHI), we're working to change that, one child at a time. As a Volunteer Tester, your support will provide us with crucial insights into our BINHI Scholars' development, ensuring we're effectively boosting their English language skills and fostering their academic growth.

About the Project

Founded in 2008, BINHI aims to improve English reading skills among identified non- and frustrated readers, aged 4-8, in public elementary schools and community centers through its 100-day free reading program.

The program runs for 20 weeks. Pupils are tested three times during the program period: pre-test, mid-test, and post-test. We are halfway our program, and thus, we are preparing for the mid-test. Tester volunteers will help conduct one-on-one tests with Kindergarten to Grade 2 students, based on their chosen schedule from November 5 to 19 at their chosen partner site/s. Each test is expected to last around 10-15 minutes.

To ensure volunteers are well-prepared, a virtual self-paced training module will be available from October 18 to 25. This will be followed by a Regrouping Session on October 25, 2025 (Saturday) at 1:00 PM via Google Meet.
