In MAKE, you can create a new picture storybook, translate a story, adapt a story for a different reading level and build your own storybook collection.
Nalibali

Nal’ibali is built on the simple logic that a well-established culture of reading can be a real game-changer for education in South Africa. Literacy skills are a strong predictor of future academic success in all subjects – and children who regularly read and hear engaging stories, in languages they understand, are well equipped and motivated to learn to read and write. A significant body of research reinforces the link between reading for pleasure and improved outcomes for children.

African Storybook

African Storybook

The African Storybook initiative aims to address the shortage of contextually appropriate books for early reading in the languages of Africa. Our vision is for all young African children to have enough enjoyable books to read in a familiar language to practise their reading skills and learn to love reading. On the African Storybook website, www.africanstorybook.org , users can find, create, translate or adapt stories for early reading. They can download and copy the stories and/or illustrations without having to ask for permission or pay a fee. The stories can be read online or offline or printed from the website. Our digital open licence publishing model is providing a growing number of stories in a growing number of languages without having to consider the size of the market for stories of a particular type in a particular language. In just of over two years, over 400 stories with nearly 2000 translations in over 60 languages have been generated and published, and the site grows each month. To encourage and learn from use, the project is working with teachers, librarians, teacher educators and literacy development organisations in Eastern and Southern Africa. The project is an initiative of Saide, a registered Non-Profit Organisation governed by a Trust and based in Johannesburg. The first four years of the project (2013 to 2016) are being funded by the UK based funder, Comic Relief.

Shine Literacy

Shine Literacy’s programmes are helping to transform the prospects of some of South Africa’s most vulnerable children by breaking the destructive cycle of poor literacy, low educational attainment, wasted potential and poverty. We do this by providing structured English literacy support to children, providing storybooks and readers and empowering parents and caregivers through Family Literacy Workshops. We work in partnership with like-minded NGO’s, individuals and non-profit organisations (see here) to raise awareness and develop approaches that are appropriate and sustainable.

Sikhaba iCovid-19 Radio Series

Human Coronaviruses are common throughout the world. There are many different coronaviruses identified in animals but only a small number of these can cause disease in humans. On 7 January 2020, ‘Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2’ (SARS-CoV-2) was confirmed as the causative agent of ‘Coronavirus Disease 2019’ or COVID-19. The majority of the case-patients initially identified were dealers and vendors at a seafood, poultry and live wildlife market in China. Since then, the virus has spread to more than 100 countries, including South Africa.
