Reading Recovery Europe kicks off its Reading Recovery Champions month at William Tyndale Primary School with a reading for enjoyment event. Everyone here loving listening to someone reading aloud and then reading independently. #ReadingRecoveryChampions #HachetteChildrensBooks

We know that Reading Recovery works - research conducted over many years that shows us the effectiveness of the intervention.

Well done to all our #ReadingRecovery champions! We are so proud of how far you have come! What a great story!
And now the Reading Recovery Champions month moves to East Renfrewshire, where pupils have written their own stories. @erc_literacy @gillg83 @LucyLiteracy #ReadingRecoveryChampions

Such an inspiring session. Phonics is not a discrete activity. If we’re not reading for meaning, we’re not reading at all. Pictures can elevate the meaning beyond words on the page. Phonics is important…language is important too. Love that the double helix starts with the child!
Thank you @AMatczuk for helping us to consider writing in terms of composing, recording and reading. The importance of the conversation can’t be underestimated. We have to remember that many children have never learned how to have a conversation.
Really interesting session. Lots of food for thought around writing in terms of transcription, composition and writing pedagogy. Are teachers viewing conversations around writing as language learning opportunities? Are they more focussed on transcription or composition?

Effective schools teach comprehension from the start alongside decoding. Phonics is necessary to reading but on its own it is insufficient.
Reading is about so much more than just decoding words on a page. Revisiting the reading rope helps us remember that ‘reading science stretches far beyond teaching how to read words, providing evidence for ways to teach children how to comprehend as well’ (Kambach & Mesmer, 2024)

Great enthusiasm from our storytelling teachers as they learned the Freedom Bird story this evening! It was great to hear about the positive impact that storytelling is having on their learners.
Thanks to @EastRenCouncil for shining a light on #ReadingRecovery. We are so privileged to be able to train teachers in this fabulous literacy intervention which helps our learners to become confident, independent readers and writers. @ILC_RREurope
This morning we worked with staff @stjohnsERC around taking a balanced approach to the teaching of spelling. We thought about the different components of spelling and considered how we can facilitate this with our learners.
This week we met with primary NQTs from across the authority to discuss all things literacy. Really interesting discussions and great to see the enthusiasm for meeting the needs of all our learners.
A fabulous day looking at the #TogetherBetterReaders intervention with pupil support assistants from across the authority. Really interesting discussions around how best to support our learners to become confident and independent readers.
