Do you want to raise the reading achievement of the lowest-attaining 6-year-old children? Our reading recovery programme enables children to reach age-expected levels in 12 to 20 weeks.
Would you benefit from your own in-house literacy specialist to support staff across the whole school to improve reading achievement?
Reading Recovery is an accredited school-based literacy programme for the lowest-achieving 6- year-old children. It involves 12 to 20 weeks of one-to-one 30 minute daily lessons, with an in-house specialist Reading Recovery Teacher.
Does it work? Yes! Eight out of every ten children who complete the programme catch up to average levels and above. Children maintain these gains and achieve level 4, sometimes level 5, by age 11.
How does it work? Barlow Hall Primary School has held the licence and been training new Reading Recovery teachers through our Teacher Leader, Fiona Botterill for six years at Barlow Hall's Reading Centre which is equipped with a two way mirrored screen.
