Abstract
The program is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and is implemented by the Northern Education Initiative Plus. The program focuses on developing reading materials for primary teachers and pupils in Nigeria. The reading materials, known as "Jagoran Malamai," are designed to improve early grade reading in Nigeria. The materials are based on a research-based approach to reading instruction and are designed to be used by teachers and pupils in primary schools. The materials include a teacher's guide and a pupil's book, and are available in both Hausa and English languages. The program has received support from various stakeholders, including the Northern Education Research and Development Council (NERDC), the USAID, and the governments of Bauchi and Sokoto states. The program has also received support from various experts and researchers in the field of education. The program has been evaluated to assess its effectiveness in improving early grade reading in Nigeria. The evaluation found that the program had a positive impact on reading outcomes in Nigeria, with pupils who used the "Jagoran Malamai" reading materials showing significant improvements in reading skills compared to pupils who did not use the materials. Overall, the Northern Education Initiative Plus (NEI Plus) program is a significant effort to improve early grade reading in Nigeria. The program has received support from various stakeholders, including the Northern Education Research and Development Council (NERDC), the USAID, and the governments of Bauchi and Sokoto states. The program has also received support from various experts and researchers in the field of education. The "Jagoran Malamai" reading materials are designed to improve early grade reading in Nigeria by providing teachers and pupils with a research-based approach to reading instruction.
