Every Child a Reader – what is it?
• Whole school programme (trade marked and
accredited through IoE, University of London)
• Central to this is Reading Recovery, a 1:1 daily
intervention for the lowest attaining children in Year 1-2.
By training a Reading Recovery teacher, you train a
literacy expert for your school.
• Other layers of interventions, careful tracking and
monitoring ensure that no child falls to learn and the
attainment gaps are narrowed
• Evidence based, effective use of Pupil Premium

Does Reading Recovery work?
Every Child a Reader (ECaR) Annual Report, (2011-12)
Does Reading Recovery work?
Hurry et al (2012) The impact of Reading Recovery 5 years
after intervention.
• The research followed 254 previously low attaining children from
age five to age 11: 77 children had received Reading Recovery; 50
children were in Reading Recovery schools but had not received
Reading Recovery; and a comparison group of 127 children were in
schools without Reading Recovery.
• At the end of Year 6, now aged 11, the children who had received
Reading Recovery had made significantly greater progress in
English than the comparison children, achieving on average a
National Curriculum Level 4b compared with a borderline between
Level 3 and 4 in the comparison group.
• Children in the Reading Recovery schools who did not have
Reading Recovery were also significantly out-performing the
comparison group in non Reading Recovery schools on the reading
test.
Does Reading Recovery Work?
• Kevin Simpson, (NLE) Executive Principal for the Aspire Educational
Trust and the Aspirer Teaching School Alliance
• Ash Grove Academy, Macclesfield, Ofsted Outstanding, Feb 2013
“Pupils do particularly well in reading. Outstanding teaching of letters and
sounds as soon as children start school stands them in good stead when they
are older. Where pupils need an extra boost, one-to-one teaching of the
‘Reading Recovery’ scheme is highly successful. Pupils in Year 2 are really
keen to read and use what they know about sounding out letters to make sense
of their reading. By the end of Year 6, pupils read accurately and with good
expression to show that they understand what they read. They read at home for
pleasure and have clear ideas about the authors and kinds of stories they like.”
