  • It’s Literacy Month and we’re not holding back!
  • Yesterday, Sterkspruit came alive with the energy of Literacy Month!

Educators from Sterkspruit Primary School took part in reading club training, initiated by Librarian Yandiswa Mtyeku and ESSS Head Mrs Hlanjwa.

The training forms part of a broader Literacy Month drive leading up to National Book Week, with events starting on 3 September at Bensonvale, in partnership with the Department of Education, Joe Gqabi District.

But what is National Book Week?

It’s an annual celebration of books, reading, writers and libraries, creating opportunities for people across South Africa to connect with stories and make reading part of everyday life.

Celebrating it during Literacy Month helps turn the focus on literacy into action: read a book, read with a child, join a reading club or visit your local library.

Let’s make reading a daily habit and build a nation of readers.
  • Literacy Month Is Here! 🔥 

September is here, and we’re celebrating the power of stories, languages and heritage!

Our stories preserve where we come from. Our languages carry our history. And our foot soldiers are making sure these treasures reach the next generation.

From educators and caregivers to reading club facilitators, storytellers, volunteers and parents, they’re keeping our stories alive, one child, one book and one story at a time.

This month, we celebrate them, our languages, our diverse cultures and the power of reading.

Our stories. Our languages. Our heritage. Our future.

What story from your culture should every child know?
