🧵 Reading Recovery 🧵

You are probably aware that Reading Recovery has come into question a lot in recent years. This is because many teachers and parents are now aware of reading research, and how the Reading Recovery does not align with it very well. 1/n

I have adjusted the Continuum of Support graphic to reflect the research into Mutli-Tiered Support Systems (MTSS). A very well known quote in this field is “You can’t intervene your way out of a Tier 1 problem.”

I had a wonderful few days with Dr Holly Lane from the University of Florida Literacy Institute. Holly is one of the authors of the UFLI Foundations phonics programme and is an absolute wealth of knowledge and experience.

Documents and reports all published in the last 2 weeks. Is it any wonder that burnout is on the rise? End of term is always a very busy time in schools… let these wait until the new year. #EdChatIE
