At the beginning of 2018, a 7 year-old boy from another school joined a Year 2 class. He was diagnosed with specific learning issues and was included in a group of 5 boys who all had similar difficulties. They were given to the Learning Support teacher (who uses LTR Language & Literacy Program) for a 50 minute lesson every day.
After three terms, his mother came to the Learning Support teacher to say that her son was coming home from school every day and teaching her what he was learning at school. She was excited about what he was learning in phonics, spelling, reading and writing and was most impressed with the love of learning that he displays and his eagerness to improve.
LTR works particularly well with boys because of the pace of delivery, the activities, the challenge and the accountability.
