Education is not complete unless it has good quality in it. Most universities are ranked worldwide basically based on the quality and other factors and universities in developing countries are always not found in top three. This is a clear indication that quality of education in developing countries cannot be compared to the developed countries, Kenya included.According to the millennium development goals and Education for All goals, access to education is observed and the quality too is considered. It is the work of education specialists and curriculum specialists to work hand in hand to bring this achievement.Quality will always start in early grade reading and mathematics in nursery to standard three. Early grade reading will make a child differentiate between letter names and sounds that will later help a child read a word very first and recognize the phoneme segmentation of various words. When a child is able to implement all this skills then comprehension of a read story or a read paragraph becomes easy because he / she will be able to read fluently without getting stuck at some point and ponder much on the word he / she could not read. In addition, a child at this level will be able to read both familiar and unfamiliar words very fast.Early grade mathematics will always help a child to familiarize with numbers identifying bigger and smaller numbers and at the same time know how the series of numbers follow one another sequentially. A child will also learn on quicker methods of solving problems and be able to solve sums with the time limit. On observation of all this and development of a curriculum that will best fit reading and mathematical techniques at an early stage of childhood, the quality of education in Kenya will never be the same again.
