In 2020 and 2021 the 2nd most number of readers of my blog was from Ukraine. When I met a Ukrainian on a dyslexia blog I asked her why there were many from Ukraine who visited my blog and she told me that the standard of English was poor.
Unfortunately, since the war between Russia and Ukraine, the number of readers from Ukraine has reduced to zero.
According to the Daily Express Report today, 30.8.2023, Unicef cited survey data which found around half of teachers reporting a deterioration in students’ Ukrainian language proficiency. Enrollment data showed only one-third of children were learning fully in person, with a third learning completely online.
I am not quite certain of those learning online as I don’t see even one reader from Ukraine on my blog.
I hope UNICEF will get a few copies of my book - Teach your Child to Read - for the teachers teaching kids to read English.
