USAID conducted an independent evaluation of Worldreader’s iREAD program in Ghana. The study shows that iREAD increased student literacy with improvements in oral reading fluency, reading comprehension, and positive reading habits.

Worldreader, in partnership with the Ghana Ministry of Education, provided e-readers to schools in Ghana through its iREAD program. E-readers and free ebooks get kids to read more and become more literate.

Worldreader launched the first e-reader project in Africa at OrphanAid Africa School in Ghana in 2010, which seek to evaluate the potential of digital reading in developing world classrooms.
