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. It also promotes metacognition & peer-to-peer learning: two strategies identified by the Education Endowment Foundation as being particularly effective for disadvantaged children. A 2013 formal trial of Connectors involving 616 pupils in five UK schools showed dramatic increases in reading ability, with the greatest benefits among children on Free School Meals. These pupils showed a reading age increase of over 10 months on average – all in just 12 weeks. This six-copy pack of a non-fiction title is ideal for readers at Book Band Silver.
