BRP CASE STUDIES

We have for many years collated quantitative data which highlights the efficacy of boostingreading@primary (BR@P) and boostingreading@secondary (BR@S). Over the years, the results, from many varied schools across the country and beyond, continue to indicate consistent, accelerated, reading age (RA) gains of over 12 months during the 10 week intervention. This means children, on average, progress at over four times the rate of expected progress. Typically they make even greater gains in reading comprehension (six times the rate expected). A clear picture of this pattern of attainment can be seen in the full 2014 Boosting Reading Data Report. BRP is an on-going, long term success story.

But what lies behind the figures? What does the training look like from a school perspective? Are gains maintained? How can BRP be used and developed in different settings? In the hope of answering these and other questions, we have decided to collate case studies that can deepen understanding of implementation or highlight impact, across a range of settings. The studies range from rigorous academic reports to working documents, snippets of evidence or short personal reflections.

Boosting Reading Case Studies

The aim is that, year on year, we will add to these and create a growing library of good practice.
