[senco-forum] Dispatches RMvTHRASS

What intriques me is that Ruth Miskin's programme bears a remarkable
similarity to Alan Davies's THRASS which I've used successfully for the past
ten years.  On this forum I've not read anyone critisicing her programme AND
YET it seems whenever THRASS is mentioned people are often negative about
it, why?

I have been watching the programmes but have recorded them as I have been
out so have only watched the first two. We have been doing Ruth Miskin's
programme for two years now and are absolutely delighted with it. To me it
is  just
common sense and I can't understand the critics who say the children are
not
being exposed to really good books etc How can you expose someone to really
good literature when they can't read? However get them on the programme,
teach
them to read - and hey presto - the rest will follow. It's a bit like asking
someone to play a piano concerto before they have learnt their grade 1
pieces!

The TV progs have made me even more determined to make sure all our
children
go to secondary school with a decent level of literacy!
