Binhi English Learning Kits

Binhi English Literacy Program

hat lies at the heart of Binhi’s English Literacy Program

is its English Learning Kits developed and written by Chona Colayco-Lagoutte, a graduate of Bank Street College, Graduate School of Education in New York and currently an English teacher in the American School in Paris.

A group or an individual can be a Binhi sponsor by choosing a site, preferably in a marginalized area or a DepEd partner school that needs an English literacy program. A Binhi community sponsor must provide the chosen site with the Binhi English Learning Kit and recruit/train teachers to implement the program.

The entire Program includes a pre-program orientation to qualified teachers on how to teach the kits; a mid-program student evaluation report to track student’s progress; and a post-program workshop.

Formed in 2008, Binhi English Literacy Foundation, Inc. (Binhi) was started by a group of women bonded by a common vision to help improve the chances of Filipino children to stay in school longer. It is inspired by Pratham, India’s largest non-governmental organization (NGO) which has successfully provided quality education to many of its marginalized children.

Binhi started its first program in the slums of Baseco, Tondo, reaching out to over 100 children. Today, thousands of Filipino grade school students have benefited from the program.

“Binhi provides English learning support to children in marginalized areas by creating learning kits inspired by proven teaching methodologies and training volunteers/ teachers to implement the program.”

“Experts have discovered that if children know eight nursery rhymes by heart by the time they’re four years old, they’re usually among the best readers by the time they’re eight.”

Each kit contains a teacher’s manual with a 6-month daily lesson plan, test, and other assessments (pre, mid & post tests, reading assessments, etc.); poetry and word study notebooks, flashcards, word sort sheets, board games, instructional DVD and music guide; leveled books, story books, and related school supplies; weekly monitoring and evaluation visits by a Binhi Coordinator. A feeding component can be added to the program at additional cost to the sponsor.

The teaching can be done by the community sponsors themselves, by teachers from the local DepEd or by trained members of the community such as mothers, health center workers and barangay day care teachers. Binhi classes can be held in existing structures in the community such as classrooms, chapels, covered courts, multipurpose centers, and barangay day care centers.

Binhi works closely with the community sponsors in all aspects necessary (community assessment, teacher training, student testing, class monitoring and performance evaluation) to see the program through.
