Reading recovery in schools

Description

This programme follows the contrasting experience of two five-year olds at Whitmore Primary School in London. With fifteen weeks of daily one-on-one support from experienced specialists, the first child is sailing ahead and can leave the programme early, while the other is still struggling with some of the basics of linking sounds, letters and meaning. Some of the component techniques of Reading Recovery are seen in action, but we also learn about the very individual attention needed to help some children learn to read and write.
