"Reading recovery was an essential part of my daughter’s learning. She had fallen behind, lost confidence and was struggling. Without the expertise and guidance of reading teacher, Judy Jenkins, she would not be where she is today with her reading or writing. The Reading recovery program is fundamental and taking this opportunity away from our children will have a detrimental effect. I am forever grateful my daughter got the help she needed when she required it. It boosted her confidence when she was discouraged, giving her the ability to be excited about reading again. I 100% back the reading recovery programme."
