Don’t study during the test… study BEFORE the test!
Start early, take it one chapter at a time and give yourself time to rest.
And remember, test season is stressful enough, don’t be hard on yourself too. Be patient, take breaks and celebrate the small wins. 🫶🏽
You got this!

📚 Words open doors. Literacy builds nations.
This #LiteracyMonth, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) is proud to launch our special Travelling Book Series.
This journey starts with a single book. And it means so much more than reading. It represents dignity for our communities and shared progress across South Africa.
Let’s work together to ensure that every child can experience the joy and benefits of reading whilst igniting hope for a brighter future.
▶️This is Chapter 1. Watch this beautiful moment, be inspired, and help us carry this message to every home and school!
Like, comment and share far and wide! 📷
