Annotation:

Zenex and SAIDE are of the strong view that these materials should only be trained by trainers who have an appropriate level of Communications themselves, and that these trainers should receive training in the use of the materials.

From 2011 the Department of Education produced free Literacy workbooks in all the home languages for all primary education school grades R to 6. The whole project was headed by Professor Veronica McKay.

Each workbook is made up of 128 easy-to-follow worksheets for listening, reading and writing practice. The workbooks are organised into four double-page spread worksheets per week, divided over eight weeks per term. All workbooks comply with the latest Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS).

These workbooks can be downloaded from:

There are also some attempts at interactive computerised versions which can be downloaded from:
