Abstract
Children like Isa and Hogoza often struggle to attend school due to a lack of access to basic necessities like reading materials. When a teacher introduces a new concept, children like Isa and Hogoza are left behind, unable to keep up with their peers. This is because they do not have the necessary reading materials, and their parents cannot afford to buy them. The REB, a Rwandan education organization, has developed a series of 12 reading books to address this issue. Each book is designed to be read by children in the first grade, and is intended to be used in conjunction with the regular school curriculum. The books are meant to be used in the classroom, but can also be taken home by children to read with their parents. The REB encourages parents to read with their children, and to help them understand the stories and concepts presented in the books. The organization also encourages children to read the books on their own, and to ask their parents questions about the stories and characters. The reading books are designed to be easy to understand, and to help children develop their reading skills from the very beginning. The REB believes that these books will help children like Isa and Hogoza to succeed in school, and to develop a love of reading that will last a lifetime. The REB is committed to improving education in Rwanda, and to helping children like Isa and Hogoza to succeed. The organization is working to make reading materials more accessible to all children, and to help them develop the skills they need to succeed in school.
