Dear Supporters,
In order to track and monitor progress, assessments have been devised which ascertained each child's current comprehension and phonics ability. The assessments are carried out three times a year at the beginning of each term January, April, August, the data is compared, enabling each child's progress to be recorded as either +, = or -.
We can show the progress (+, =, -) of all students assessed throughout the year.
Through analysis of the data we identified progress of reading comprehension as an area of concern and decided to target this in the following ways:
We were pleased to discover that the changes have indeed made a positive impact on reading comprehension progress, with higher percentages of students improving their score or maintaining the same score.
We have been able to accelerate older students, who struggle with reading, through the use of targeted phonics lessons. These students, in classes 6, 7 and 8, received literacy tuition focusing on comprehension as their reading skills had improved enough for them to be able to access most basic texts.
Thank you for your continued support!
