Reading Matters’ services really work. They improve reading for children and young people; enhancing reading comprehension, word recognition, confidence and self-esteem.
A study by Leeds Met University showed a 10 week programme with a Reading Mentor resulted in an average increased reading age of 15 months.
“I am really impressed with the quality of the training and support provided by Reading Matters. Our Reading Leaders have found that they are benefitting from the work alongside their partners. It is helping with self confidence and self esteem and the students are thriving on the responsibility that the role requires.”
Nadine Elkin, Director of Teaching and Learning at Appleton Academy
