Summary ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
The charity managed
to adapt its services, to provide
virtual
tuition
during
the lockdowns.
This was an achievement
since we had to learn new
ways ofteaching
literacy online, something
we had never done before.
Since some pupils had additional
learning
needs such as ASD and
ADHD, this required
careful planning
and preparation,
to make sure the
pupils remained
focused
in the lessons.
Once face toface lessons resumed,
six groups of pupils were provided
with lessons on a Wednesday
morning.
Groups were taught
by specialist
tutors, who had a qualification
in teaching
children
with dyslexia. The
pupils
loved playing
the multi-sensory
games and activities and
developed
an enjoyment
in reading.
In addition,
they gained confidence
in their reading
ability and learnt reading
strategies
to use at school and
at home. We had very positive feedback from the class teachers, the
Deputy Head and Headteacher,
who noticed that the pupils had
significantly
developed
their confidence
in reading
and their mental
well-
being had improved.
The Reading Ladders webinar was very successful
and we raised nearly
E1,000which
will be put towards
expanding
our reserves. We received
excellent feedback from the tutors and we were able to raise the profile of
Reading Ladders.
