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 5-8, in public elementary schools and community centers through its 100-day free reading program.

The program runs for 24 weeks. Pupils are tested three times during the program period: pre-test, mid-test, and post-test. We are about to start a new school year for our program, and thus, we are preparing for the pre-test. Tester volunteers will help in the conduct of one-on-one test with pre-school students aged 4-5 years old at Rosalie Rendu Development Center in Parañaque City. Each test is expected to last around 20-30 minutes.

To ensure volunteers are well-prepared, an orientation will be conducted onsite.
