Transforming education by meeting children where they are, not where the curriculum expects them to be.
Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) is an evidence-based educational approach that helps children develop foundational reading and mathematics skills. Instead of rigidly following a fixed curriculum based on age or grade, TaRL focuses on assessing and teaching children according to their actual learning levels.
United Care Trust has implemented TaRL methodologies across 8 countries, reaching over 200,000 children who were struggling with basic literacy and numeracy despite attending school.
We begin by assessing each child's current learning level using simple, practical tools to identify exactly where they need support.
Children are grouped according to their learning levels rather than age or grade, allowing for targeted instruction.
Teachers provide engaging, level-appropriate activities that quickly build foundational skills in reading and math.
Regular progress monitoring ensures children advance to higher learning groups as they master new skills.
We conduct simple one-on-one assessments to determine each child's current reading and mathematics levels. This helps us understand exactly where to begin instruction.
Children are grouped according to their learning levels rather than age or grade. These groups are fluid, allowing children to move as they progress.
Learning happens through games, activities, and materials that are appropriate to each group's level. Instruction is fast-paced, engaging, and fun.
We continuously assess children's progress to ensure they're advancing and to identify when they're ready to move to the next level.
We provide extensive training and ongoing support to teachers, helping them implement TaRL methodologies effectively in their classrooms.
"Before TaRL, many of my students couldn't read simple words. After just 60 days of implementation, 70% of them are now reading paragraphs. This approach has transformed my teaching and their learning."
"My daughter was in 10th grade but couldn't read. I was worried she would drop out. After joining the TaRL program, she's now reading storybooks and helping her younger siblings. Thank you for giving her confidence."
