A positive relationship exists between sensitivity to rhythm and progress in reading.
Scope exists for disciplined innovation in schools. If schools were encouraged to extend conventional approaches to the teaching of early reading, and if this was done in a systematic, rigorous and methodical way, many children would benefit.

“It’s only an hour that they have with your over the time that you come in over the six weeks and for it to be able to make, for a lot of them, up to a year’s difference in their reading ability is quite amazing really.”
