Teaching at Right Level - TaRL

TaRL is an evidence-based approach that helps children to develop Basic Reading and Maths skills by grouping them based on their learning levels rather than their age or grade. Through simple assessments, interactive activities and target instructions, TaRL bridges learning gaps and enables students to progress effectively.
Samagra Shiksha Axom in collaboration with Pratham Education Foundation is implementing the TaRL programme that "aims to strengthen the foundational skills of children in grades 3 to 5, who need academic support".
