• To master the skill of reading and writing in 21 steps (approx. 80 hours) in the mother-tongue

  • Added benefits of Literati :-

    • It is not only the starting point for reading and writing, but develops thinking and problem-solving skills.

    • Reading for meaning and stimulated conversations.

    • Provides opportunities to link to life-skill contexts & build on learning in such awareness programmes.


We use a Literati one-on-one pre-test to determine the entry level of the candidate. On completion of the 21 steps, a learner can do unprepared reading and writing equal to Grade 3 outcomes.


The learners are relaxed and confident (not stressed), the learners are interested in what they are doing and having fun (not bored), and the learning itself is meaningful (not meaningless).

Speed of learning is a MAIN outcomes value. An individual is fast–tracked according to his/her motivation, atrophy level and capabilities.

Literati is the brainchild of

Literati is the ‘kick-start’ part of English ABET 1, and is proven to accelerate learning in the rest of the programme. 

Literati is essentially a primer for a basic literacy training programme. Becoming literate is the next most important first step towards becoming a self-directed, life-long learner. Literati is the key.

The revived-literate will need help and support to ensure that the door remains open and that he/she does not lose his/her key.
