With 16+ years experience as a foundation

phase teacher, Sarah Whitaker, alongside her

sister Kate Watkin, who has been in sales and

marketing since 2003, decided to create a

business aimed at addressing the pressing

issue of illiteracy among South African children and adults.

 

They co-founded Stellar Stars, where they developed reusable, durable, and practical resources to improve literacy in English, isiZulu, isiXhosa, and Afrikaans.

Sarah, a renowned artist, designed all the educational resources from scratch.

Sarah and Kate's mother, Sue Watkin, a well-regarded educator, also contributed significantly to the initiative. Sue has 48 years experience in primary and adult education, was a 3 Merit teacher, served for 9 years on the KZN Education Department's English First Language committee, and was Head of Department for a decade.

 

Sarah brought her two oldest daughters, Hannah and Emily, onboard and they are now running this project.

Start 2025 with a spring in your step by creating a stimulating environment for your learners whilst providing a valuable teaching resource for your educators.

These high quality, uniquely South African resources were designed by Sarah Whitaker, a renowned artist and qualified teacher with 16+ years experience in the foundation phases, and they contain embedded instruction on correct letter and number formation, the use of the number line and the concept of odd and even numbers. An accompanying educator guide explains this. The durable write and wipe booklets are a valuable learners’ resource for reading and writing.

The school logo can be printed on all resources.
