On the morning of 1 June 2026, FH Cambodia, in collaboration with the Oddar Meanchey Provincial Office of Education (POE) and the Trapeang Prasat District Office of Education (DOE), launched a cascade training on the Early Grade Reading Package and Mentorship mechanism under the Let’s Learn to Read (LLR) program. The training is being held from 1 to 5 June 2026 in Trapeang Prasat District, with 129 participants, including 99 women, who are Grade 1-3 teachers and School-Based Mentors.
The training is facilitated by Provincial and District Master Trainers who recently completed the Training of Trainers on the Early Grade Reading Package and Mentorship. The main purpose of this training is to strengthen the capacity of early grade teachers and School-Based Mentors to apply effective early grade reading instruction in alignment with the Khmer Reading Benchmark and curriculum of the MoEYS. The training focuses on key reading skills, including phonological awareness, phonemic, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. It also covers the effective use of teaching and learning materials, student learning assessment, and ongoing teacher support through classroom observation, feedback, and mentorship.
FH Cambodia will keep committing to working closely with the MoEYS, POE, and DOE to strengthen early grade reading and help children build a strong foundation in literacy for their learning and future.
