Even within a well-working FLN program, children will learn at different speeds, with some requiring more support than others. This guide is based on evidence from remediation programs that seek to close a learning gap by identifying primary-grade students who are struggling or behind their peers and by providing them with the foundational FLN skills they did not acquire during classroom instruction.
These programs embrace various approaches: Pratham’s TaRL (and specific country variations on TaRL), a tiered system of support called “response to intervention” (used in high- and middle-income countries), and various tutoring models. This guide takes lessons learned from these evidence-based remediation programs and consolidates them into seven core building blocks of remediation.
