[senco-forum] Pilot Reading Project

"Aly  - Totally objective results from any test of
reading age are pure mythology"

ANY research without objectivity is futile.

"It is a fact that the children in the pilot project
did double their average rate of read skills
acquisiion and some of these children had reading were
in Year 6 with reading ages of 5+      How would you
account for that fact Aly?"

Possibly simply because they were given the time and
attention they needed. Maybe with an appropriate
process of reading instruction tailored to their
individual needs they might have done even better.

It's interesting that time can be made available for
such research projects but not where it is really
needed...to help each child where they need it.
Another one size fits all approach, to my mind, is not
what's needed.

Best wishes,
Aly
