1. The Foundations for Learning Campaign, promulgated in March 2008, is aimed at improving learner performance in reading, writing and numeracy in all South African schools. In order to strengthen the performance of those learners who learn through a second language, the WCED has embarked on a special project to equip schools that have Xhosa Home Language learners by providing their teachers with copies of textbooks in Xhosa for Grades 4 to 6. In the 16 Language Transformation Plan pilot schools, the textbooks will be provided for learners as well.
2. The books for different learning areas have been screened by curriculum specialists. Schools are requested to complete the attached Addendum A in order to choose a supplier from the current list of WCED-approved book suppliers. This list was sent to schools on 16 November 2009 with Procurement Management Minute 0015/2009.
3. The completed Addendum A must reach Ms Janette Maliqua at one of the following addresses by 8 December 2009:

Hand-delivery address
CTLI Admin Building
Nooiensfontein Road
Kuils River
7580
Postal address
Private Bag X14
Kuils River
7580

4. Each delivery will include a list of the Xhosa textbooks ordered from the bookseller.
5. Principals are kindly requested to issue, or to delegate the issuing of, these resources to Grade 4 to 6 teachers.
