Hi,

In reply to Eddie...do you know what methods are used in these other
countries to attain such a high level of literacy?

To Amanda and Richard and all the other sencos here...I can appreciate that
you have many aspects to your role, but that notwithstanding, the children
with  all the conditons mentioned all have a common link- no matter what
their
difficulties, they will all need to be literate. Without literacy NONE of
them
can access the curriculum or even hope to attain independent learning. If is
not  the senco's role to ensure this, then whose is it? One could say the
English  teacher but in those with SEN, the SEN is the reason these children
are
not  literate. Who ultimately takes responsibility for the literacy of these
pupils?

Best wishes,
Aly
