Africa’s leading creator and producer of children’s educational media, Ubongo has launched Season 4 of Akili and Me: “Words and Sounds with Akili” to encourage kids and their caregivers to re-discover fun learning through words and sounds.
The popular African preschool show helps kids discover new ways of learning that harness their creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking.
Aimed at 3 to 6-year-olds, Akili and Me helps young learners develop their vocabulary, literacy, counting, social-emotional and life skills like empathy and conflict resolution through the adventures of Akili, a 4-year-old who travels to a magical world of learning when she falls asleep.
Created and first aired in Tanzania in 2015, Akili and Me was an instant hit with Ubongo’s youngest audience.
“Season 4 of Akili and Me builds critical early literacy skills by taking children through a series of fun songs and stories, crafted to provide the key foundational building blocks needed to learn how to read. The foundational building blocks we included in the season are phonological awareness through rhyming and syllable segmentation and alphabetic principle through the recognition of letters and letter sounds,” said Ubongo’s Head of Education, Cliodhna Ryan.
