Funda Wande has entered a collaboration with the Western Cape Education Department for the
development of literacy materials for Afrikaans Home Language and the use of the Funda
Wande isiXhosa anthologies for all Foundation Phase isiXhosa Home Language learners in the
Western Cape. Since the beginning of 2020, four training sessions have taken place, facilitated by Funda
Wande.
The first was the Anthology training for 20 IsiXhosa Curriculum Advisors on the 14th and 15th January
2020 at CTLI, Kuilsriver. The training was very well received and there was engagement around the use of
the anthologies for Group Guided Reading and for extended reading. The reading ladder, Funda Wande’s
Baseline assessment and GGR booklets were the highlights. The Funda Wande videos were also found to
be of worth for the Curriculum advisors to use when training their teachers.
