Great. I think I will  give it a go. I always thought that ARROW was very 
good for self esteem and, once you have a bit of practice with the Coomber, 
you certainly can do interesting things.  I once met someone who had used 
ARROW to help a friend who had suffered a stroke and several people who used 
it with HI pupils.
I have always been a bit suspicious of the computer version but you have 
encouraged me to try it.
Thanks

Luisa

maggiechessher at aol.comI have recently used the updated computer based 
version of Arrow with 2 pupils with statements (Sp.L.D.  and MLD) to good 
effect, despite my initial, um, lack of enthusiasm!  It has also been used 
very successfully with groups of pupils of varying ability levels. Apart 
from the progress in literacy there have been big changes in confidence and 
attitude to learning by some pupils. It has also been used recently with 
adults with mental health issues, again bringing about changes in 
self-esteem because of impact on reading / spelling.The programme can now 
be loaded onto computers /laptops and most children will be able to work 
fairly independently - another benefit for children who often rely on a good 
deal of support.Maggie Chessher-----Original Message-----From: Luisa Pinnell

[senco-forum] Reading Recovery

Hi
A.R.R.O.W. stands for Aural-Read-Respond-Oral-Write and it is a self-voice 
taped
technique devised by Dr Colin Lane.  Originally a HI teacher, he devised 
this
technique which is based on the principle that you learn  more effectively 
if
you can hear your own voice rather than the teacher's. it is a 1-1 
intervention
and it requires the use of a record player (Coomber) with a silent pause 
button.
The tutor 'models' a sentence or a word, the student repeats it. You record 
the
student's voice. The silent pause button enables you to edit the recording, 
so
you get the 'perfect utterance'.  You then use the recording as a basis for
reading and dictation exercises.
It has been going on for quite a longtime (over 30 years) and they are now 
using
IT(CDRom) to deliver the programme.
I trained as an ARROW tutor in the ealy 90s. I still use it sometimes if I 
want
to give someone a boost. It is amazing to see their faces when they listen 
to
the tape and realise that it is them, reading like they have never read 
before.
I have had some good results with it but it is very labour intensive and 
takes a
lot of time.

I agree with  you that synthetic phonics is a v. good way to start, but as 
you
pointed out by the time they get to secondary school they  have picked up a 
lot
of faulty  habits, some are very scared of print and a few have been quite
seriously affected by years of failure, so they don't see reading as an
enjoyable activity but an ordeal. That's why I think that they also need 
paired
reading schemes where they can read with a partner, and guided reading where
they can just listen to someone read and enjoy the story line. Especially 
pupils
whose parents/ carers are non-readers and have seldom experienced reading 
for
pleasure outside the school setting.

PRINCIPLES i.e filling in gaps in letter/sound correspondence knowledge and
emphasising sounding out and blending all through the word, for reading, and
segmenting words into their component sounds for spelling, has worked very 
well
for nearly all the children I have worked with. The biggest problem with I 
find
with secondary children is not teaching the correspondences and the sounding 
out
etc. but eradicating the faulty habits they have used over the previous 5 or 
6
years; guessing words, looking for words within words, not paying close
attention to the orthographic information within a word and a pathological 
fear
of multisyllable words, which causes them to panic at the sight of one! > >
