The Role of Parents & Teachers in strengthening FLN

Welcome to Akshar Se Avsar Tak, a podcast by The Good Sight.In Episode 2, we turn our focus to घर और स्कूल की भूमिका (The Role of Parents & Teachers) in strengthening Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN).Our guest, Poornima Garg, Country Director, Room to Read India, shares practical insights on how parents and teachers together can build strong early learning foundations for children. The conversation explores the critical role parents play in supporting FLN at home, even when time or formal teaching methods feel out of reach. We also discuss how early-grade teachers can use simple, engaging classroom activities to nurture reading, numeracy, and comprehension skills.The episode reflects on a common concern raised by many parents—that they want to help but don’t always know how. Poornima Garg offers easy, realistic ways families can integrate FLN into everyday routines, without pressure or rote methods. The discussion further highlights the importance of a shared school–family approach, where both work in partnership to create consistent, meaningful learning experiences for children.At its core, this episode reinforces a simple idea: when homes and schools work together, children gain not just academic skills, but also confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning that lasts beyond the classroom.CreditsGuest: Poornima GargHost: Shreya MResearch: Alisha CProduced by: The Good SightConcept: The Good SightFor feedback or to participate, write to us at [email protected]#FLN #AksharSeAvsarTak #EarlyLearning #ParentsAndTeachers #RoomToRead #FoundationalLearning
