“While good readers gain new skills very rapidly, and quickly move from learning to read to reading to learn, poor readers become increasingly frustrated with the act of reading, and try to avoid reading where possible”

(SEDL 2001)

Stricht’s Law:

“reading ability in children cannot exceed their listening ability …”

Myhill and Fisher

MYSTERY TEXTS

Page 26: Teaching Leaders Seminar Boys & Literacy: “Stretch”

The climate of the Earth is always changing. In the past it has altered as a result of natural causes. Nowadays, however, the term climate change is generally used when referring to changes in our climate which have been identified since the early part of the 1900's . The changes we've seen over recent years and those which are predicted over the next 80 years are thought to be mainly as a result of human behaviour rather than due to natural changes in the atmosphere.
