Narrow the attainment gap with reciprocal reading. Our groundbreaking Connectors series uses peer-to-peer learning strategies that include every child – with proven results. High-impact methods proven in case studies & recommended by the Education Endowment Foundation Formal classroom trials of Connectors show children’s reading age leaping forward by an average of 9.1 months in just 12 weeks Ideal for small group teaching at different ability levels Case studies show particular benefits for disadvantaged learners A great way to make your Pupil Premium go further Children work in small independent groups of up to six, each taking turns to be the leader as they read & discuss a book together. Clear prompts show the leader how to focus the discussion & engage their team members to predict outcomes, clarify issues, ask questions & evaluate content. This collaborative approach builds teamwork, speaking, listening, comprehension & evaluation skills.
