2. Introduction
• Hilt Tatum IV is the chairman of the Oxford
Consulting Group and a supporter of a number
of charitable causes. One of the primary charities
that Hilt Tatum IV supports is the Save the
Children Foundation. Recently, the Save the
Children Foundation implemented its Literacy
Boost campaign in Mozambique.

3. About Literacy Boost
• On September 30, 2013, teachers at the primary
school of Chingoe in the Bilene district of Gaza
implemented the Literacy Boost methodology to
help children improve their reading, writing, and
numeracy. Results from the program included a
60 percent improvement in a single year, which
attracted the attention of the Ministry of
Education.

4. Conclusion
• The Ministry asked that Save the Children
disclose their methodology in order to increase
the quality of education nationwide. According
to the Ministry, nearly 25 percent of all school
children in Mozambique can neither read nor
write at the appropriate class level. Literacy
Boost is being adopted by the Mozambique
government and taught by selected instructors.
