First created in New Zealand in the 1970s- reading recovery has helped more than 300-thousand children improve their reading abilities.
But its framework is now getting a refresh and those behind it say it will be able to help even more children with much faster results.
Under the new framework Reading Recovery teachers will be able to not only give personalised support to an individual child, but now will be able to support classroom teachers in small group settings- meaning they'll reach even more children.
It was initially rolled out to 40 schools last year, but due to its success it now has more than 250 primary schools registered to take part. Perry Rush from The Learning Circle talks to Anna.
