The TIME Home Learning programme is a set of daily story-based activities with language activities designed by Wordworks and maths activities by RED INK.
The activities can be used at home and in after-school programmes to build language and maths foundations in Grade R and Grade 1. The activities are aligned to the CAPS curriculum and complement what is being taught in the classroom. TIME builds co-operation between families, schools and communities and establishes home learning routines.
TIME is for parents, caregivers and tutors of 5–7 year old children and is available in all South African languages.

Learning to build back better futures for education: Lessons from educational innovation during the covid-19 pandemic
At a time when education has been disrupted to the extent that it has, governments and communities the world over are rethinking how, where and why we educate.
Wordworks is honoured to have contributed to UNESCO’s international study, examining how our TIME (Together in My Education) intervention programme for young children, rolled out during COVID-19 and after, addressed the challenges posed by the pandemic and its impact on educational innovation.
In the article, Schools as learning hubs for family support, Wordworks considers how the TIME programme has contributed to laying the foundation for a transformational and sustainable approach to building back better, and why it matters at this juncture in our educational evolution.
