Nal\u2019ibali (isiXhosa for \u201chere\u2019s the story\u201d) is a national reading-for-enjoyment campaign. It seeks to spark and embed a culture of reading across South Africa, so that reading, writing, and sharing stories \u2013 in all South African languages \u2013 becomes part of everyday life.<\/p>\n
Children who are surrounded by print and immersed in great and well-told stories \u2013 in languages they understand \u2013 are more curious, confident and motivated to learn. They develop vocabulary, strengthen memory, and nurture imagination. They\u2019re more likely to become readers themselves, and to do well in school across all subjects.<\/p>\n
Since 2012, Nal\u2019ibali has worked with state, civil society and business partners to make sure every South African child has opportunities to fall in love with books and stories. Through advocacy, training, support and high-quality reading material, Nal\u2019ibali is helping to nurture a reading nation.<\/p>\n
