The Children's Literacy Charity work with disadvantaged children who struggle to make progress in the classroom and are the furthest behind in their literacy skills. Their expert tuition covers all the key areas of literacy, with a particular focus on comprehension as well as reading, writing, speaking and listening. For every one month of tuition, pupils made 5.1 months of progress. On average, pupils were 17 months behind their peers in reading when they started and six months ahead when they graduated. 92% of pupils who graduated narrowed their literacy gap in reading and comprehension and over two thirds (71%) of graduates closed their reading age gap completely, gaining on average two years and five months. It's not just about the numbers, something rather magical happens in their Literacy and Reading Labs. They find out what sort of learners the children are; they make it fun and engaging while providing a safe, nurturing environment where children grow in confidence, self-esteem & resilience.
