[senco-forum] [SENco-forum] ERR? Should make a good discussion!

I must confess that I immediately associated the Initials ERR with Solity's Early Reading Research programme.

A more complete paper by Solity is this one : http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/pdf/literacy/jsolity_phonics.pdf

In it he proposes that some 3-5% will still have problems with learning to read.So don't predict the death of 'SEN' just yet!    Along with all other proponents of systematic, explicit phonics for initial reading instruction, Solity believes that SEN registers would be greatly reduced, not done away with alll together. SEN does encompass children with other difficulties, doesn't it?

I think his '100 HFWs' is rather off beam.  It might work in the early stages of reading acquisition, when non-decodable texts are highly repetitive with very limited vocabulary, but I don't see how they can be of much use when texts become more complex.

Hopefully J S & his team are not really claiming they discovered the 100
words that make up 50% of  basic reading words are they?

Cut and paste this
www.icteachers.co.uk/resources/literacy/earlyreadingresearch.pdf  if you
want to see Jonathan Solity's views on why his system renders the COP
/Statementing and Senco's redundant if you implement the ERR system!!!

Should make for a few good debates I think

Hi Folks

I went to see a child in school last week and was told she goes to ERR
sessions.  Unfortunately, the person I was speaking to didn't know what
it was except that it's something to do with phonics.

Is this Early Reading Recovery?  If so please could someone explain what
it involves.  If not any suggestions as to what it might be?

Thanks for you help

Kind regards
