Built for Nigeria.
Built to last.

Haaraya Literacy is a structured literacy reading series developed specifically for Nigerian government primary schools — not adapted, not translated, but built from scratch with Nigerian children at the centre.

Every story features Nigerian names, foods, settings, and traditions. Every phonics sequence, every sight word, every comprehension skill is mapped to the NERDC national curriculum and USAID EGRA benchmarks.
