This finely levelled reading instruction programme has been specifically developed for teaching and assessing reading in the Foundation Phase. Each story has been individually developed around the structure and vocabulary of the language for which it was written. The Vuma Reading Instruction Programme has a number of different resources that work together to offer a comprehensive reading solution. Vuma is currently available for English First Additional Language, and Afrikaans, isiXhosa, isiZulu and Sepedi Home Language.
