1:40 Looking at ways to help turn around the literacy issues facing young students
With the release of the damning report about the state of literacy in New Zealand and the follow-up announcement of a new education strategy last week, many have chimed in on the best way to get Kiwi kids reading skills back on track.
For those who missed it, the report revealed that by the age of 15, two out of every five kids are failing or only just meeting literacy standards.
Teacher, Emma Nahna, is reading a book, she believes, can help to reverse the literacy problems facing children. She talks to Jesse abut "The Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading" by Christopher Such and why she thinks it can make a difference.
