Uk - And Around The World
https://thatreadingthing.com/Our mission is to offer real measurable improvement in reading and spelling to people who've found themselves outside the education system and struggling to get on in life because of low literacy. We also make sure that young people struggling to read in high school - or in their last year before going to high school - get support now. To accomplish this mission, we want to see one person trained to deliver That Reading Thing in every primary and secondary school, every training agency and youth project.
Education and Skills
That Reading Thing is a literacy intervention for teens and adults both inside and outside the education system. It was created to be delivered by youth workers and community volunteers but is now used by schools (teachers and support staff), colleges, training agencies, youth offending teams, private dyslexia tutors and parents - anyone who can work one-to-one. It works because it's a combination of tightly structured literacy delivered with a laid-back and friendly approach that guarantees success for people who feel they've failed in education. It's been externally evaluated by Prof Greg Broks and is recommended in his publication, "What works for children and young people with reading difficulties". Training is available on-site, online or a combination of the two.
That Reading Thing is going to have a new umbrella over it called STaRT Anywhere Literacy - from Spelling Thing and Reading Thing. What we're trying to express: no matter where you are on the road of life and no matter where you are on the road of literacy, you can make a start on reading and spelling. Love to hear from you.
