We shall need storing spaces for our books, as there is no empty cupboard in school. We need to raise funds for books as well as a bookshelf.

We need to do a baseline assessment of students, which shall take approx. 3 minutes per child. It shall be a sample sheet of vowels, alphabets, and stories which will help in recognizing the child’s ability. 5 letters passed or more than that shall show the level of the child.

We shall capture the progress of the child on one level to another at the end.

One teacher from the school has to be present with the Aasha volunteers. A copy of the teacher lesson plan will also be given to the school’s teacher to inform the daily plan of Aasha.
