My OH was in London during the war and so missed a lot of schooling. He CAN read quite well, but despite seeing me read everything in sight, and remebering for me when the library van is due, he has never learnt the pleasure that books give. I generally interpret insrtuction manuals for him to save time!

Rose, sorry I have not replied until now, but as soon as I logged on to gr my 'malware alarm' was going off!!

I am surprised at the number of pupils that leave school unable to read, if that survey is correct.
Having been involved in the education of young children (birth - 7years) for the last 40years I have seen many changes in the ways children have been taught to read. Our Education Authority has tried other methods, but has returned to the phonics.

The group that are leaving our pre school this term to go into reception classes next term all know a few letters & their sounds, taught in a fun way through rhymes.
