dc.description.abstract The study investigated techniques used by teachers in the teaching of literacy and numeracy in selected Primary Schools in Kongwa District. It examined the factors that contribute to pupils’ inadequate literacy and numeracy skills. A cross-sectional survey research design, with a sample size (N=95) was used. Simple Random Sampling and Census Inquiry techniques were adopted. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS and the Qualitative data were analyzed using the verbatim method. The study findings suggested that there were literacy and numeracy issues in these particular Primary Schools since most of the Teachers lacked the skills needed to impart these abilities the majority of the Teachers never used the brainstorming technique, and others never used cooperative learning to teach literacy and numeracy. Likewise, few of these teachers’ use playing games as a technique for teaching literacy and numeracy. The study concluded that the majority of the teachers never used brainstorming, cooperative learning, and the use of play games as techniques to deliver lessons to learners. The study recommends retraining Teachers, employing teachers who have qualifications and cooperative teaching. Keywords: Teaching, Quality teaching, Literacy and numeracy en_US
