Building Strong Literacy Foundations with Afza Butt
In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Afza Butt, Founder of 'Fluent Futures', who is on a mission to transform early literacy education in India.
Inspired by the powerful slogan “Padhega India Toh Badhega India” (When India Reads, India Will Lead), Afza shares her vision of empowering educators and parents to build strong literacy foundations in the early years — because reading is not just a skill, it’s the gateway to opportunity, confidence, and lifelong success.
We dive deep into:
The science behind how children learn to read and write
Phonics — and what lies beyond phonics
LSRW (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing) and why all four pillars matter
The scientific reasoning behind literacy development
Practical, research-backed strategies to create literacy-rich classrooms
Afza also shares actionable insights for teachers and parents who want to move beyond rote learning and truly nurture confident, capable readers.
If you’re an educator, school leader, or parent passionate about shaping the future through literacy, this episode is a must-listen.
Because when a child learns to read well, they don’t just pass exams — they unlock their future.
