[senco-forum] Catch up for High schools

Was started -in wales- 2 years ago - my own experience is that pupil forgot
to come  etc ( during registration) and I personally found it difficlt to
deliver as it wasn't structured ( around lved at around a year below their
chronological age onreading comprehension score
Rather reminisence of the 6th form reading sessions with year 7 that I set
up in the library some 12 years ago and was discontinued
This year ( as all staff who were involved were teacher  volunteers using
their free lessons or whatever  ) has now been delegated to the sixth form
( Full circle?) 

Might be useful for kids who are just below chronological age in reading on
entry but all its delivering is more reading ( which ask eddie ) breeds
success so only suitable -in my opinion to just below kids and certainly not
for addressing more deep rooted problems  barbara ht

I can see where you are coming from especially as training was  provided
free. However - from what I have seen it wouldn't be a suitable scheme for
all the pupils who require individual tuition. The expense of one to one is
always worth it, in my opinion, if the pupil succeeds on the scheme they are
following where everything else has failed! Chris Secondary senco
