Wendy and I made a very useful visit to our colleague Suzanne in St. Nick's at Penrith yesterday afternoon and she showed us the MULTILIT programme and we saw what it entailed and I certainly think it would be a very good programme for our struggling readers in Primary. We also got an opportunity to look at STARS & CARS which is a new programme from Hawker Brownlow and this had some wonderful ideas that we will share at our next meeting on comprehension. The books contained wonderful lessons that might help teachers in Reading Groups. Suzannes gave us the loan of one of the books so we will show them at our next meeting. I think MULTILIT maybe a goer because it is so reasonably priced so when we do our feedback to the staff we can speak about both these programmes.

What a great idea to tap into expertise of our
neighbouring schools! It sounds one of our greatest challenges is to get a handle on this complex skill of reading and draw up milestones of achievement. Then when we assess children at risk we have a reportiore of strategies to support their learning. This looks like a potential resource.
