WINDHOEK, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) A virtual reading application (app) known as Namibia Reads is promoting reading and learning culture in safe spaces for children across the country.
On Friday, holding a smartphone in hand, Ria Murangi, a 12 years old learner based in the Namibian capital of Windhoek read out loud a story accessible on the app. With schools closed, I can read more stories and learn new things from the palm of my hands, she said.
She has also since picked up on new vocabulary and subject content. According to Murangi, the application has also served as a form of entertainment because of the quizzes, animation, videos, and games.
