Does anyone know why UCL apparently supports RR & trains RR teachers?
www.ucl.ac.uk/international-literacy/reading-recovery
Isn't it pretty well accepted now by most Ed Psychs that RR doesn't actually improve reading in the long term after the NZ & Australia experiences of this programme? It's particularly odd because the ICL (international centre for literacy) claims on its website to be an evidence based organisation that supports phonics!
Can anyone shed any light on this?
