Prior to your help, when Ella read, she would read a paragraph of text very flat and it was very clear that she didn’t have a clue what she was reading. There was no fluency or expression, it was like she was just saying the words because she could read them but not understand what they meant.

We have not practised reading, which i know is bad on my part, but i have noticed Ella has begun to read alound things she see’s; notes lying around, newspapers, leaflets etc. She has fluency, expression and i can just tell by the way she is reading, that she actually understands what she is reading! She has never read the newspaper in her life, but i often see her (when sat at the table eating lunch) looking through the paper and reading articles and then she wants to discuss them. Clearly, in the past, she was never confindent to read anything for the fear of not understanding, therefore, she didn’t. Now when she has homework, which is a paragraph of text explaining what she should do, she reads it and understands it.!!

This is proof that your programme works, even without practise!!! Its like the lightbulb has been switched on!! THANKYOU!
