Building Literacy Skills in the Skills for Life Program

At MOB Academy, our Skills for Life program is dedicated to equipping our young men with essential literacy skills through engaging activities and collaborative teamwork. With the invaluable support of our community, we strive to create a holistic environment that prepares students for success in all areas of life.

This term, our lessons will focus on decoding, empowering our students to confidently engage with a variety of texts while strengthening their reading and writing abilities. By fostering these skills, we aim to cultivate a love for learning and enhance our students’ ability to communicate effectively.

Recently, the Skills for Life team had the incredible opportunity to visit the 19 karen gallery alongside our wonderful friend and mentor, Monique. During the visit, Monique guided us through the gallery, demonstrating how value and stories can be conveyed beyond mere words. The boys were inspired as they learned to appreciate the power of visual communication and the diverse narratives that art can express.

We believe that experiences like these are vital in broadening our students’ perspectives and helping them see the connections between literacy and the world around them. As we continue this journey, we remain committed to fostering an environment where every young man feels empowered to thrive. Thank you to everyone who supports our mission—together, we’re building brighter futures!
