Breaking Down Difficult English Words – Leap for Word

Ms. Geeta Chikmani – Principal Siddeshwar Balmandir Primary School takes care of 1st to 7th std school. In the 2018-2019 school year she started exploring teaching English using Leap For Word (LFW) techniques. The 1250 children of Ms.Geeta’s school are provided with set lesson plans developed by LFW from Grade 1-7 on a daily basis. She has made sure the teachers are provided with the LFW teaching materials that will help them with their own pronunciation. The technique of breaking down the difficult words and having one-on-one year round support from the LFW team has enabled Siddeshwar Balamandir Primary school teachers transfer the acquired English knowledge to their students, given them a path to professional educational opportunities and a brighter future.

It takes on an average 45$ to equip a teacher with books, charts, video study plans and other teaching materials in the LFW model. Our goal this Diwali is to support 225 teachers and we need your help. This Diwali let’s help many more children get the education they deserve!

Vibha started its partnership with LFW in 2019 to provide guidance to scale up their model to other Indian states, helps develop creative ideas for improvement of the program, capacity building of staff, effective partnership with government and organizational level support. The initial partnership that started in 4 districts of Maharashtra namely Ahmednagar, Nasik, Satara and Solapur is now expanded to Andhra Pradesh (Paderu region), Jharkhand (Pakur district), Tamilnadu (Thiruvallur), benefitting more than 200,000 children
