Thought I'd share a succesful idea for small group support in a primary school. I've been working with children that have reading writing difficulties for a considerable time and realise pulling children out of lessons draws attention to their problems. Jack, Maggie, Charlotte and Ben all have significant difficulties with reading and writing and have been identified as being dyslexic. To help their learning, it was agreed that they should have extra reading and spelling lessons in the form of small group support once a week, using the *Read, Write Inc scheme. To reduce the attention they would receive by going out during class time, it was decided that they would miss assembly to attend 'Spy Club’. The children embraced the idea of 'spy club' and happily told their friends that they were learning to 'encode and decode' (spelling and reading) words. The Spy Club was so successful that I regularly had higher achieving children asking to attend.
