Evidence 2 ~ Another Project

Posted in Articles & News by Tricia
Mar 17 2009

These numbers come from an inner city volunteer literacy project.   The reading ages were measured using the Burt Reading Assessment which is available free from here.

I’ll add more details about the learners as I get them.  It will be interesting to see who has statemented learning needs, who speaks English as an additional language and who has particular behaviour problems. (Or all three.)

A huge thank you to all the tutors and young people for their hard work!
