YOU ARE INVITED! REGISTER YOURSELF AND YOUR LEARNERS GLOBAL

Children and other family members are invited to lend a hand
in making India literate. This Coolkit can be used to teach one
or several learners at the same or at different times.
This Coolkit contains sufficient material to cover three main
objectives of literacy and numeracy: Reading, Writing and
Arithmetic.
There is no quicker way to make a person literate. A learner
starts to read two-letter words from the first day itself. This
motivates him / her to continue learning. Most learners can
learn to read in 20 to 30 sessions of 15 minutes per day. They
can read a newspaper, sign, write name and often much
more. Another 10-15 hours of time investment can make a
learner numerate.
Global Dream Coolkits are available in several Indian
languages and a free mobile app will be downloadable soon.
There is no better way to serve. Research shows students who
engage in service learning with real-life experiences improve
in academic performance; they become more responsible,
better appreciate values such as respect and responsibility,
and learn other valuable life skills.
Register yourself and your learner as soon as possible by DREAM

calling, SMS or online (see information on the back). Request
a NLM or third-party evaluation when the learner is ready. www.GlobalDream.guru
CERTIFICATES Your learner will get a certificate of becoming
literate and numerate at the Basic Level and you too will get a
certificate as a Leader of Change. The certificate will mention
the number of learners that you taught.
Share your story by sending entries from your portfolio, your
photo, about your learners and your feelings that you wish to
share with the world. These you can post on www.rotaryteach.org

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FUÀ
1. Do not use the old ways of teaching and
learning that you are familiar with. Global
Dream is a much faster learning process if
you teach it the way it is meant to be taught.
2. Show extreme respect for the learner. Go by
the convenience of the learner and respect
the timings you give him / her.
3. Before you begin teaching, ensure you have
taken a pre-test.
4. You do not need to spend more than 15-30
minutes with the learner each day, unless
both of you are enjoying the process. Go
slow initially, then speed up as the learner
gains confidence. Make every session a
joyful experience for both you and the
learner.

5. TEACH IN ORDER as suggested by the order of
books: READING is taught first. When
READING is mastered (in about three weeks),
you can teach WRITING. However, you can
teach the learner how to write name and
make a signature as early as possible.
NUMERACY can be taught along with
READIND and WRITING but your sessions will
need to be longer (45 minutes to 1 hour). Aim
to teach all three objectives within two
months, ideally within six weeks. Plan well and
avoid gaps in learning as they may lead to

lowering of motivation or drag out learning.
6. Think of ways to keep yourself and the learner
motivated as learning can be difficult for a
person who has never had the opportunity to
learn.
7. The goal is to teach a learner to the level of
mastery so that they can take the National
Literacy Mission Exam or be evaluated by a
third-party. Both you and the learner will then
get a certificate. Literacy has tremendous
benefits for the learner. Do not give up along
the way!

4. The first lesson is the hardest to teach and to
learn. But after that, the learner begins to
decode the lessons largely by themselves.
5. Play the games as suggested after each
lesson. This will consolidate learning and
make learning more joyful.
6. BE PATIENT. It is very important they don't
learn like a parrot and repeat after you. Give
your learner plenty of time to think before
answering yourself. This will allow him to
make the mind connections that are most
essential in the Global Dream learning
process.

learner being able to understand the
process of learning expected of him / her
from the first session itself.
8. Consolidate each lesson before you move
over to the next. When you come back the
next day, start each new session by going
over what they learned the previous day.
9. Lend the learner this book if they request.
Otherwise, it can stay with you. They have
enough homework already with the mind-
connections that they will be making after
each lesson. These abstractions are
necessary part of learning and do not
require books.

Let your learner know how letters are given in a

no one behind...
Global Dream
A dream to have a literate world, a dream to give
the gift of literacy to someone who has just dreamt about it.
Literacy is one of the greatest gifts a person can receive
and better than any charity we can do.
BASIC LITERACY
Literacy, defined as the ability to read and write, is the first step
in education. Most individuals already know how to speak. Yet,
so many individuals remain disadvantaged their entire life
simply because they cannot read, This is most unfortunate also
because it is very quick and easy to teach anybody to read,
especially by using these uniquely designed and research-based
Global Dream Coolkits.
Global Dream Coolkits make it possible for a volunteer (young or
old) to teach anyone, at anytime and at any place convenient to
both the learner and the volunteer.
The target learner is an illiterate person 15 or 15+ or a child out
of school whose reality does not permit him / her to attend
school (8-14). Please encourage out of school children to go to
school. Adopt at least one learner who is 15 or 15+.
After completing this Coolkit, a learner can become fully
functional in the definition provided by UNESCO and by the
National Literacy Mission. S/he is able to:
1. Read a newspaper
2. Sign, write name and much more
3. Do simple arithmetic (numbers, +,–, x, and ¸)
4. Understand quantities and read time and calendar
After completing Coolkit A, a learner is qualified to take the NLM
Basic Literacy Examination or a third-party evaluation which is
considered equivalent to Class III. Further Global Dream Coolkits
prepare learners to Class V level.

FASTEST WAY TO LEARN
Global Dream is an accelerated learning program as it is built on
worldwide research and evidence, such as increasing thinking
time that improves learning outcome. Mind connections based
on visualisation make learning even more effective. A learner
goes from the known to the unknown and from concrete to the
abstract. A learner thus starts to read two-letter words from the
first day itself. This motivates the learner to continue learning.
This makes Global Dream the fastest literacy program there is.
Benefits to the Learner
n Counters Fear. Most illiterates are fearful of being cheated.
n Makes Better Informed Citizens. Learners can read a
newspaper and participate better in democratic processes.
n Boosts Self-esteem. Learners begin to believe they are
capable of learning. This propels them forward in a myriad
ways.
n Other Benefits Include: Reduces population growth and
infant mortality, improves child and maternal health, more
children join school, families and next generations benefit
especially when a woman becomes literate. A Cambridge
University 2014 study shows that a mere 4% increase in
literacy has the same impact as 25% increase in personal
income.
We thank you for your hardwork and we wish you all the best in
your endaeavour to reach out to and make at least one person
literate, and thereby make a tremendous contribution towards
making India literate.
