Reading Discovery Club
Reading Discovery Club is a 30 minute daily small group early literacy programme. It aims to give a boost to children needing extra support with their basic literacy skills and help them get underway with reading and writing.
Our Reading Discovery Club training provides explicit training in how to effectively deliver the programme in school. It is suitable for class teachers and teacher aides who want to teach structured literacy lessons that include reading and writing, and also Reading Recovery teachers who are running Early Literacy Support in their schools.
The Reading Discovery Club course covers:
• how to teach the Reading Discovery Club programme
