Visualizing a Literate World

ALfA (Accelerating Learning for All)

The Change Education Needs

ALfA is a reverse methodology that uses cognitive mind connections, and self-led peer work to make learning accelerated and joyful. There is no rote learning and no teaching of the alphabet. Children go straight to reading words. They learn to decode and blend words from the first day. Even three-year olds can read three-letter words from the beginning and simple sentences within weeks.
