Mpumi Mohohlwane Stephen Taylor Jacobus Cilliers et al 👏👏👏

Excited to see our paper published. Early intervention matters and it persists! We intervened in Setswana in Gr 1-3 & the benefits were seen Gr 7!

Two take-aways from our paper: 1) Clear long-term (to Grade 7) effects of an early grade (Gs 1-3) reading intervention. 2) Initial impacts in foundational skills (fluency) translate to longer-term impacts in higher-order skills (comprehension). #RTIFellow

An important paper on foundational learning. Congratulations to the authors and the research designers, and to the teachers in South Africa.

The closing panel at #OxCSAE2025 will be 'Evidence-based Policy: Towards an Improved Research-policy Equilibrium in Africa' 🗣️ Mpumi Mohohlwane, Ranil Dissanayake, Justice Mensah, Miriam Laker-Oketta MD, Oliver Hanney ℹ️Find out more: cvent.me/vbN029 💻Register today: cvent.me/grRQBN

Looking forward to an engaging discussion on how to think about evidence use & interpretation within government. I will share some lessons on the South African experience
