Project Reading Recovery in Brighton & Hove
Funding Receives funding from the Dedicated Schools Grant and individual school budgets
Purpose To improve children's reading and writing skills
Background
Basic reading and writing skills are fundamental to children's education. Those with poor literacy skills risk getting further and further behind and turning away from learning altogether or venting their frustration by becoming disruptive in the classroom. Brighton & Hove Council is among those to run the Reading Recovery programme – part of the national Every Child a Reader initiative – designed to offer intensive support to children who are struggling. Each year, around 360 children in the area – more than 14 per cent of the annual 2,500 intake – struggle with reading and writing.
