Education Works – Boosting Reading @ Primary
https://www.educationworks.org.uk/what-we-do/reading-support/boosting-reading
The 1:1 10 week intervention programme is for pupils aged from 6+ who:
- Lack skills and confidence as readers
- Require a boost to their reading age
- Need to develop their understanding of texts
Experienced Teaching Assistants, Support Assistants, Learning Mentors and volunteers attend intensive training. This can be delivered as a two day package or in a modular format, with the time and space for gap tasks to consolidate learning. A teacher (preferably SMT) who is also expected to attend the training, is appointed as the school coordinator. All participants receive a booklet including handouts for the course and support material to enable them to deliver the programme to children.
