Welcome and Orientation


Welcome to Funda Wande Reading Academy


This first module covers Decoding and Comprehension.

There are 20 lessons in this Module, each of which will take approximately an hour to complete.

You should be able to complete the Module in 20 hours.

It is important that you go through the lessons in sequence as each lesson builds on the content from the previous one. We encourage you to be an active reader while engaging with each lesson.


Each lesson has a video(s) that you need to watch and a self assessment (quiz) to be completed. 




In order to gain the most from this course, please ensure that you watch the videos in full and that you complete each self-assessment.

You'll have multiple opportunities to complete the self-assessments (quizzes).

  • Assessment 1 is taken after the completion of the Decoding & Comprehension module
  • Final Assessment 2 after the completion of the CAPS Reading Activities module
  • Each test lasts 1 hour and is in multiple-choice format.
  • You will receive your results after clicking the submit button at the end of each the test
