Literacy is the key to a brighter future, yet South Africa is facing a reading crisis—81% of Grade 4 learners struggle to read for meaning, and nearly half of all households have no access to books. On World Read Aloud Day, we celebrate the power of storytelling and its role in shaping young minds.
In this episode, Samm Marshall speaks with Steve Tsakiris, Director of READ to RISE, about the importance of reading aloud, the impact of book ownership, and how we can all help build a nation of inspired readers.
Tune in for an insightful conversation on how simple acts—like reading a book to a child—can transform lives and break the cycle of illiteracy.
