This report shares the findings from a study of early grade reading skills and classroom practices in Mali which was conducted in three regions of Mali (Koulikoro, Sikasso and Ségou) in May 2015 at the end of the school year. Children in Grade 2 in classique and curriculum schools were assessed in letter-sound identification, individual word and short story reading, and reading comprehension. Children in medersas were assessed in basic oral French vocabulary knowledge. One class was selected for classroom observation in each of the sampled schools in order to help better understand prevailing teaching practice in the sampled schools.

This report presents key findings of the first baseline of early grade reading skills implemented in the West Bank. This EGRA for Grade 2 was conducted in March 2014 in a representative sample of 150 Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MOEHE) primary schools, stratified by school gender and selected randomly from 16 districts in the West Bank. The 2,953 tested students were randomly selected from Grade 2 enrollment lists prior to each school visit. The results are representative of MOEHE Grade 2 students and primary schools in West Bank.
