Teachers efforts coupled with stimulative learning environment had a high impact on performance of learners in education in primary schools. It becomes more imperative for learners’ in early years of education because they lay the foundation for later education success. This study is an investigation into the influence of Teachers characteristics on learners’ literacy Outcomes of Early Years of Education in Bungoma Central Sub-County , Kenya. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods the study collected and analysed data presented in exhaustively descriptive design. The study obtained primary data from 85 participants comprising of 48 learners of grade three, 24 teachers of grade three, 12 head teachers, and Sub-County Education Officer. Data was collected from semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and criterion test. Data was analysed using Pearson coefficient model and correlation analysis using descriptive statistics of frequencies, tables, bars, graphs, percentages, and standard deviation. A pilot testing was carried out before the actual application of this instrument in 3 schools. The model of Brenfonbrenner (2001) was adapted and from the findings Cronbach’s alpha value revealed reliable results of teachers of grade three (α=.801) questionnaires, which was above a threshold of 0.7 values. Content validity was ensured using expert judgments from Education Department at MMUST. According to the model, a positive and significant correlation between learners’ literacy outcome and teachers’ characteristics that include teacher time management, competency, ICT Knowledge and beliefs (r=.469, p<.05) was found. Based on this finding the study recommended that teachers of grade three should individualize teaching based on assessment results, embrace use of class library and whole-class curriculum materials, and recognize individual differences in order to improve on learners’ literacy achievement.
